Draft ordinance would fund Brickyard Loop Trail construction around pond and link to park system
Summary
The ordinance authorizes advertising and contracting for a paved walking trail around the large pond (Brickyard Loop Trail) and connections to the passive park trail and Seville Road parking; contract costs are limited to the 2026 budget with a 10% change-order cap.
A draft ordinance seeks authorization for the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids and enter into a contract to build the Brickyard Loop Trail, described as a paved walking trail around the large pond that would connect to the passive park trail system and the Seville Road parking area. The ordinance states the total contract cost must not exceed amounts approved in the 2026 city budget and permits change orders only if total obligations remain within the awarded bid plus 10 percent.
The ordinance includes standard open-meeting and publication certifications and is presented as an emergency measure "necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety" to improve park infrastructure. Sponsorship is shown generically as "Council Member" in the printed draft.
