Council approves $20,000 capital amendment for conceptual park design in Green Line development
Summary
Council approved a capital budget amendment to allocate up to $20,000 for initial conceptual design services for a new public space within the Green Line development; staff said this is preliminary work to coordinate city preferences with the developer and that final design is not included.
Council considered a capital budget amendment to fund conceptual design services for a new public space that will be dedicated to the city as part of the Green Line development. Staff said the requested amount is $20,000 (a fiscal-note typo showing $30,000 was discussed and staff confirmed the intended amount is $20,000) and described the work as preliminary conceptual work, not full design, to allow parks staff to present initial concepts to council and coordinate with the developer.
Council suspended rules to take the item out of order and voted to approve the amendment. Staff said the amendment would likely be funded by transferring savings from other capital projects rather than increasing the overall fund balance and that planning work will continue with the parks director and developer to refine options.
Next steps: Parks director will bring initial concept options to council in coming weeks; staff will finalize funding transfers and track any fiscal-note corrections for the formal record.
