Commission to review park impact fees and a roughly $100,000 Rob Park master‑plan request
Summary
Staff flagged park impact fees (currently quoted at about $1,300 per new build) and proposed a community education and comparative analysis in early next year; commissioners were told a Rob Park master plan could cost roughly $100,000 and might require grants, reserves or general‑fund requests to finance.
Staff advised the commission that park impact fees are currently low (cited around $1,300 per new construction) and proposed an education session and comparative market analysis in January–March so commissioners could weigh in knowledgeably on whether to recommend changes.
Commissioners also discussed Rob Park, where a master‑planning process (community outreach and conceptual design) was estimated in rough terms at about $100,000. Staff said the master plan could be funded via grants, park reserves, or a general‑fund request from council; they emphasized that an outreach‑led master plan helps balance competing requests for park amenities.
Next steps: staff will schedule an education session with planning, begin documenting community requests and explore funding options to propose a budget request when appropriate.
