Board gets update on Levian/Hawkdog restoration estimates, GIS map proposal and parks advisory recap
Summary
Staff reported progress lining up engineering and consultant estimates for the Levian/Hawkdog stand restoration project, proposed starting a GIS flyover to map property inventories, and a board member summarized a parks advisory meeting clarifying interdepartmental responsibilities.
The board heard a status update on the Levian/Hawkdog stand restoration: staff has met with public works and plans to interview one or two consultants to scope electric, water and sewer work, aiming to return estimates by the April meeting. Staff said consultant/managering costs should be fundable within the board's previously discussed allocation (discussed informally as roughly $25,000 for initial scoping and project management).
Staff also proposed beginning a GIS flyover to inventory parcel uses and constraints, suggesting a one‑mile start area; the board agreed to plan for an April discussion and to use the flyover to identify developable parcels and major limitations.
In other business, a board member (Chris) described a Parks Advisory Board meeting that used interactive exercises to clarify responsibilities across departments for trails, tree trimming and creek maintenance; the board noted substantial overlap between riverfront and parks responsibilities and the need for interdepartmental coordination.
Next steps: staff will continue consultant selection for Levian/Hawkdog estimates, schedule GIS work and report back at the next meeting. No formal contract awards or budget approvals were made at this session.
