Ithaca council prioritizes Woodland Park playscape and City Hall repairs for next fiscal year
Summary
Council heard updates on City Hall roof timing and accepted a plan to prioritize a playscape at Woodland Park, a new pavilion roof and required building maintenance as the focus of upcoming park and facilities work.
During the April 7 meeting the City Manager briefed the council on multiple facilities projects, including the City Hall roof, City Hall lobby procurement, and proposed improvements at Woodland Park.
Manager Jamey Conn reported that contractor work on the City Hall roof is expected to begin in May and that two local contractors responded to the City Hall lobby RFPs. He said he met with a playground representative for a proposed playscape at Woodland Park and expected a quote within the week. Conn also reported estimated concrete costs to construct a seasonal ice rink and emphasized that the pavilion roof requires replacement along with general building maintenance.
Council discussion led to a consensus to prioritize installing a playscape, replacing the pavilion roof, and addressing required building maintenance in the next fiscal year park projects. No funding allocations or formal contract awards for these items were made at the meeting; staff will solicit quotes and return with cost estimates for budget consideration.
