Board discusses using Residential Construction Tax to design Mark Twain park; no action taken
Summary
Board members discussed using Residential Construction Tax funds to pay for the full design of the Mark Twain Master Plan but did not vote; a judge is expected to report next month on whether the Board may act.
Christopher Gonzales suggested the Board use Residential Construction Tax funds to pay for the full design phase of the newly adopted Mark Twain Master Plan, but members took no formal action at the May 13 meeting.
The Master Plan was noted as having been adopted by the County Commissioners, and Gonzales said the Board should consider dedicating RCT dollars for the park’s final design. Meeting minutes state a judge will provide an update at next month’s meeting to clarify whether this Board has authority to act; the board deferred a decision until that update.
The discussion did not include a stated dollar figure or a formal motion. Staff and commissioners did not adopt a timeline or select a consultant at this meeting. The minutes record the agenda item as "For Discussion and possible action" and specifically note that no action was taken.
Next steps: the judge’s update, expected at the Board’s next monthly meeting, will be used to determine whether staff may be directed to allocate RCT funds toward design work for Mark Twain.
