Council members reported a recent ad hoc meeting with Parks & Recreation Director Adam Matsumoto and representatives from SWA Architects to review updated Sereno Park renderings. Members said the session produced minor conceptual changes and that staff would bring revised plans back to the council for additional discussion.

Why it matters: council members emphasized the challenge of providing meaningful green space on a small parcel while accommodating community input and program elements. The council directed staff to continue refining the design and to present the conceptual plans at a future council meeting for discussion.

Council members praised SWA Architects’ effort to incorporate community feedback and highlighted green-space allocation as a primary focus. No formal design approvals or binding decisions were made at this meeting; the item was reported as an update with direction to return with materials for formal discussion.

Next steps: Parks staff and the consultant team will prepare the updated conceptual plans for return to the council. Additional community input and formal agenda review will follow before any approval or project funding decisions.
