Commission gives consensus to citywide facilities master plan and new construction project manager
Summary
After staff proposed a $115k–$156k supplemental for an external facilities master plan and a separate supplemental to add a citywide construction project manager in the city manageroffice, the commission signaled consensus to proceed with both items while asking for clearer scope and cost detail.
Staff presented two interrelated proposals for the commission: (1) an external facilities master plan to inventory and program city properties and (2) a supplemental to create a citywide construction project manager position to oversee projects across departments. The positions and study were described as complementary: the plan creates a 5–10 year vision and the project manager would help implement, track and coordinate the work.
Commissioners asked whether both are needed and whether the project manager could perform some master‑planning functions in‑house. Staff and the city manager said the studies and ongoing project supervision are distinct: the master plan is a finite professional study, while the manager position provides recurring program oversight. By the end of the discussion the commission recorded consensus to move forward with both the facilities master plan and the project‑manager supplemental and asked staff to return with final scope, estimated contract terms and page references for the budget book.
