City begins sustainability park‑management procurement; off‑leash dog uses to be evaluated
Summary
The city opened procurement for a sustainability park‑management plan that will assess maintenance practices and uses — including off‑leash dog areas — with proposals due June 16 and consultant work expected to report back this fiscal year.
City staff said they held a pre‑proposal meeting with five firms for a sustainability park‑management plan that will evaluate maintenance practices, sustainable stewardship and park uses. Staff expects proposals to be submitted June 16 and for consultant work and public outreach to take place through the fiscal year with reporting to the commission and council.
Public‑works staff said the sustainability plan will review uses that stress parks (including off‑leash dogs) and provide guidelines or best‑management practices. The consultant's scope is broader than a single‑use study: it will examine maintenance practices, usage patterns, and identify areas where changes or investments are warranted; potential dog‑park siting or design would be a subsequent step informed by this broader analysis.
