Council approves removal of small park building after archaeological review and grant closeout
Summary
Staff and the administrator told council a small, rundown park building valued under $2,500 can be removed pending final site inspection by a grantor and archaeologist; council approved resolution 20‑26‑4 to remove the building and discussed planting trees funded in part by private donations.
Council considered resolution 20‑26‑4 to remove a small, deteriorated park building in City Park. The administrator said a prior archaeological survey limited disturbance in the area during construction of a new pavilion; staff worked with the state, tribal representatives and grantors during the pavilion project and expect a site inspection from the grantor this week to close out requirements. Staff and public works recommended removal of the old park building, describing it as beyond useful life and not movable.
The administrator said staff and volunteers have a plan to replace the structure with trees and landscaping; he noted a private donation of $2,000–$3,000 toward planting. Council moved and approved the resolution by voice vote and directed staff to proceed with required inspections and removal logistics.
