Pavilion lighting, cameras and software switch top Peosta parks updates
Summary
Parks staff said a $10,000 DRA grant was secured toward a $20,000 —25,000 platform migration from ActiveNet to CivicPlus; staff also described pavilion lighting complaints and debated installing internet now to enable remote cameras and access control.
A parks staff member told council members the city received a $10,000 grant to help pay for switching its parks and community-center software from ActiveNet to CivicPlus. "I did find out last week that we got 10,000 for the grant," the staff presenter said, adding that the total platform cost was expected in the $20,000 —25,000 range and that CivicPlus's flat-fee model could reduce transaction fees compared with ActiveNet.
The parks update also covered lingering pavilion problems: residents reported flickering exterior lights and staff are troubleshooting with the vendors. Staff discussed whether to enable permanent internet to support remote camera viewing and access-control PINs; conduit is already in place, staff said, and pulling fiber could be scheduled once the council decides. The council asked staff to return with a timeline and firm costs for the software switch and the network/camera work.
