Discussed
Staff presented park impact fee projects: Liberty Park play park and playground, Folsom Trail landscaping and irrigation, Warm Springs Park, North Gateway Parks and Pioneer Park. Council Member Mano supported moving bond funding from the Ballpark area to Pioneer Park while noting ballpark redevelopment would need funding soon. Planning and Design Division Director Tom Millar said projects were chosen for current momentum and community input; Pioneer Park work includes dog park expansion, misters and pickleball courts. A straw poll supported funding the projects from park impact fees, with all members in favor. Council Member Petro requested a further update on all sales tax revenue bond projects. Council-added items included replacing trees on North Temple after a herbicide spraying incident, redirecting money from the canceled Sorenson Center project to California Avenue pedestrian safety, CDBG-CV funds, analytics surveys and police noise enforcement. A second straw poll supported a one-time General Fund transfer for consultant services on the City Prosecutor's office transition.
