City manager asks council to fund downtown master-plan update during next budget cycle
Summary
The city manager told trustees the city should budget for a consultant to update the downtown master plan, proposing a 10–20 member committee for about a year to study redevelopment opportunities including South Broken Arrow and the residential overlay district.
The City manager (transcript label S1) told trustees the city had held an internal meeting and recommended adding capital funds in the next budget to hire a consultant to update the downtown master plan.
"I'd like to talk to you about, putting some money in the capital budget to do it and to bring a consultant on board next year to do an update to the downtown master plan," the City manager said, adding the plan would look at redevelopment opportunities downtown and in South Broken Arrow. The manager proposed forming a 10–20 member committee that would meet for about a year and return recommendations.
The update would review the downtown residential overlay district and other areas identified by community development staff for potential redevelopment. The manager said the item would be discussed during the budget process and framed the request as a multi-step effort to shape future projects and ordinances.
No formal funding request or appropriation was voted on at the meeting; the manager said the topic will be raised during the upcoming budget deliberations.
