Parks assumes responsibility for Parkway Improvements under executed MOU; no new funding required
Summary
Staff said the Parkway Improvements PDF transfers operational responsibility for Sligo Creek Parkway, Beach Drive and Little Falls Parkway to Parks under a recent MOU with the Department of Transportation; the committee noted this is an accounting/operational change rather than new money.
Committee staff flagged a new Parkway Improvements project in the CIP packet that formalizes transfer of responsibility for several parkway corridors—Sligo Creek Parkway, Beach Drive and Little Falls Parkway—to the Parks Department under an executed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Transportation.
Ms. Dunn explained the change is a transfer of responsibility, not new funding: "It's not new money. It's the new responsibility reflective of the MOU that we discussed last year...It was in process and in discussion has been executed." Committee members characterized this as an operational accounting item and expressed support for the transfer while noting no additional capital appropriation was requested.
The committee did not vote on funding, but acknowledged the operational update and continued its review of the broader CIP packet.
