Glendale Regional Park Master Plan
Discussed
The Public Lands Department presented a preferred site plan for the former Glendale Water Park site, including an outdoor pool, climbing features, a skate park, flexible event spaces and a community plaza. Phase I is targeted for April 2024 with $3.2 million in funding, and the plan is scheduled for Planning Commission review this fall and Council adoption in December. Council Member Fowler said ongoing maintenance costs were not in the presentation and asked about programming; staff said the plan is to use Funding Our Future dollars for maintenance of new bond-funded facilities and return to the Council for added positions. Council Member Puy thanked staff for west-side engagement.

Budget Amendment No. 4, fiscal year 2022-23 follow-up
Discussed
Third briefing before the evening's hearing. Staff described a remaining $10,000 pilot giving RV owners vouchers to dispose of wastewater at designated sites instead of the Jordan River, and six new full-time employees (four in Public Lands, two in Finance). Item A-5, $4.35 million in parks impact fees for Glendale Regional Park phase one, had been planned for withdrawal after the parks bond passed, but Council Members said they no longer wished to withdraw it and wanted to modify it. Staff said the park must be built by 2024 and bond-funded review timelines would not allow that. Other items discussed included $38,509 for election awareness, $490,847 in re-scoped homelessness funds and $500,000 for Dee Glen tennis courts.
