Estimated $10–12 million city share discussed; staff says no tax increase planned
Summary
Consultants estimated the City portion of the Community Block project at about $10–12 million in conceptual costs; staff described pursuing grants, partnerships and private development and said the project is intended to be completed without a tax increase.
Consultants said the conceptual cost range is wide because design remains preliminary; the estimated city portion was discussed as roughly $10–12 million, exclusive of any private development. Councilmembers were told that final costs could be higher or lower depending on scope, materials and amenities.
City Manager Quinn Bennion said the team will pursue grants, partnerships and private development to limit the city's direct cost and emphasized staff do not plan to fund the project through a tax increase. The presentation noted phasing the work and matching phases to funding availability as a means to manage near‑term fiscal impact.
