Summary

Staff told the board a planning firm will be selected at the second city council meeting in July, with notice to proceed expected in August and about a nine-month update process. The project budget is $84,000 ($50,000 state grant, $34,000 city match).

Staff advised that city council will be asked to approve a contract to select a planning firm to update the 2016 parks master plan; staff expect to issue a notice to proceed in August and anticipate a roughly nine-month planning process with robust public engagement. "We have a $50,000 grant from the state of Oregon to support this effort, and then the city is matching with $34,000 that we're using from our parks project fund," staff said, describing an $84,000 total project with $50,000 reimbursable.

Staff emphasized the plan will focus on capital and operational recommendations that will drive future grant applications and priorities, and said final recommendations will be reviewed by the parks board before going to city council for adoption.
