Redington Shores staff ask commissioners whether to pursue a Town Parks Master Plan
Summary
Town Manager Margaret Carey asked the commission whether to pursue a Parks Master Plan during a June 24 budget workshop, and staff noted past consultant work on easement beautification, co-op gardens and Florida‑Friendly landscaping as potential components.
Town Manager Margaret Carey asked the Board of Commissioners at the June 24 budget workshop whether the town should pursue a Town Parks Master Plan to guide park upgrades and beach-access amenities. The item was presented as part of the FY26/27 policy goals and objectives review.
Staff recalled a prior consultant engagement that recommended beautifying town easements, establishing co-op gardens and using Florida‑Friendly landscaping practices. Commissioners discussed sequencing: several members preferred waiting to repave streets until the bulk of construction projects are finished to avoid reworking new pavement. Staff also identified potential grant opportunities but noted prior denials and the need to review reasons for those outcomes before committing to a plan.
