Parks board votes to recommend $20,000 for Monona Village Park concept designs
Summary
The Winona Parks and Recreation Board voted to recommend that the city council authorize up to $20,000 in developer/TIFF-funded consulting for concept plans of Monona Village (the Green Line) park space, enabling designers to compare $1M and $3M buildout options before council decisions.
At the meeting the board considered a capital budget amendment to authorize up to $20,000 for consulting services to produce concept plans for Monona Village Park (the development the agenda referred to as the Green Line). Jake explained TIFF funds associated with the development would pay for concept-plan options, and the consultant would present multiple buildout scenarios and amenity choices for board and council review.
A board member moved to recommend that the council solicit design services using TIFF funds tied to the development; the motion was seconded. The board voted in favor and the motion passed. The $20,000 authorization is intended to provide options showing what a $1 million park, a $3 million park, or an intermediate buildout would look like so the board and council can match scope to likely funding.
Jake emphasized that TIFF funds are limited to specific infrastructure and that parkland dedication fees and TIFF are separate funding pools; the concept designs will help the board advise the council on preferred scope and funding mixes. The board’s recommendation will be transmitted to the council for final approval.
