Council accepts Confluence Park cultural‑resources survey; discusses management plan and funding
Summary
Council accepted a $20,025 cultural resources survey for Confluence Park, found no artifacts that would block work, and discussed a park management plan and funding from Title II Forest Service receipts and a brewery donation.
The Westfir City Council accepted the Turtle Island/Confluence Park Cultural Resources (heritage) Survey at its Dec. 11 meeting. Mayor Dylan Williams said archaeologists found no materials that would prevent planned work and that the consultant billed roughly $20,025 for the survey.
Council discussed the Watershed Council’s park management plan and agreed the city’s commitment would be to perform a five‑year review and later a 10‑year review. Williams said funding for park work includes Title II funds from Forest Service receipts (amount not specified in the record) and a donation from a brewery that may support a trail kiosk. He also noted local high‑school shop classes and tribal partners would help build and provide language for interpretive kiosks.
The council voted to accept the survey for the record and asked staff to include inadvertent discovery protocols in the project files.
