Summary

Staff proposed hiring a consultant to provide park evaluation and prioritized improvement recommendations (including drainage, utilities and an amphitheater at Soaring Hawk); board agreed consultant input would help scope realistic engineering constraints and costs.

Staff recommended hiring a consultant to evaluate parks and provide prioritized recommendations for improvements, citing the value of early engineering input for drainage, utilities and phased construction at sites such as Soaring Hawk.

The board discussed the amphitheater site at Soaring Hawk and flagged likely design constraints (drainage and extending electric/water/sewer). Staff said an engineer could provide a reality check on those constraints before the board picks a preferred scope. Staff also described potential low-cost options (cutting and re-grading, artificial turf, or small flat activity areas) and suggested working with an engineer and HOA outreach for site-specific changes. The board supported moving forward with consultant-led evaluation and flagged the need to prioritize low-water solutions.
