Council seeks stakeholder re-engagement and ties CAC work to senior center plan
Summary
Councilors urged reactivating the task force and parks commission, refreshing prior work and coordinating CAC planning with the central fire station and senior center renovation so both projects can proceed with community input and minimized operational clashes.
Multiple councilors recommended bringing the original task force, Parks and Recreation Commission and community stakeholders back into the conversation so priorities can be identified and the project can be phased. One councilor asked that staff not "reinvent the wheel," recommending the team review earlier work and provide prioritized options to the council.
Staff and councilors also discussed how the central fire station project will free space and how the $2,000,000 senior-center allocation from the park bond could be used to create a separate senior center rather than co-locating seniors with youth activities. Talbert said residents have repeatedly expressed a preference for a stand-alone senior space.
