Summary

Staff clarified the session was a concept review and proposed returning in September with refined design options and an explicit decision item to be referred to council and the parks commission.

Staff told the commission that tonight's meeting was a review, not a decision. Eric recommended staff and the architecture team refine concepts that incorporate the night's feedback and present a decision item in September that can be referred to council and the parks commission for formal action.

"We do not have a decision item tonight. This was a review of the concepts," Eric said, then proposed the timeline and referral path for decision. Commissioners agreed that a refined recommendation—potentially including options for heritage recognition, surfacing choices and fencing—would be appropriate for that future meeting.

The commission did not take any formal votes this evening; instead staff were directed to prepare options and additional detail for the September agenda.
