Library, parks and downtown improvements included in capital plan; urban renewal funds identified
Summary
The budget includes allocations for library roof replacement and park master‑plan work, $25,000 for Old Town amenities, $27,000 for fireworks, and District-specific urban renewal resources for planned projects and debt service.
Council staff outlined allocations for community facilities: $25,000 for Old Town light poles, benches and bike racks, a proposed library reroof funded from district resources, a $27,000 fireworks allocation and $40,000 for City Park complex improvements. The manager said the city has set aside resources in two urban renewal districts and is planning targeted capital projects and a parks master plan to guide incremental improvements.
Staff also discussed the business-improvement grant program that would award up to $10,000 per qualifying business with a $50,000 appropriation and noted ongoing work to update fee schedules for community facilities to balance cost recovery and public access.
