Presenter outlines $3 million Phase 1 for downtown master plan
Summary
A presenter told the meeting the downtown master plan includes a $3 million Phase 1 in year 5 (2030), noted $25,500 in donations so far and said the city is eligible to apply for two matching 'part f' grants to offset costs.
A presenter told the meeting the downtown master plan includes a $3,000,000 allocation for Phase 1 scheduled in year five (2030). “We put $3,000,000 in here in 5 in in for phase 1, and we we stretched that out to year 5,” the presenter said, framing the figure as a seed amount to guide future planning.
The presenter said some project costs may be offset by other funding sources, including carbon-reduction funds described as covering a roundabout and by applying for federal/state 'part f' grants that require a 50/50 match. She noted the city is eligible to apply for two of those grants simultaneously and included related park, signage and streetscape elements in the plan. The presenter also reported $25,500 in private donations toward the downtown park to date and emphasized the master plan is intended to attract further grant and private support.
The presenter signaled the plan remains a multi-year effort, with details and phasing subject to grant awards and ongoing fundraising. No formal vote or motion on the master-plan budget line was made during the segment; staff and committee members asked clarifying questions about timing and funding sources.
