New park on 620 South

Every hearing and vote

1. September 3, 2024 · City Council work session

   Parking agreements and landlord agreements in TOD area

   Discussed

   Public Works Director Sam Kelly said restriping 900 West to keep 26 feet clear for fire trucks would remove 35 stalls; options include alternating on-street parking, 28 stalls in open-space parcels (about $114,000) or 134 stalls ($402,000). The parcels are HOA open space over a TSSD easement, not city-owned. City Administrator David Bunker proposed barring future developments from charging residents for on-site parking and floated a small park on 620 South. Kelly planned microsurfacing this fall and chip seal in spring. The mayor said funding would come in next year's budget unless the council amends it.

   • 900 West restriping: 35 stalls removed
   • Option: 28 stalls in open space, ~$114,000
   • Option: 134 stalls, ~$402,000

   Fiscal 2027 Fitness Center, road CIP, impact fee and Local Building Authority funds

   Discussed

   Finance Director Anna Montoya said there is no plan for a full Fitness Center renovation or bond; the general fund subsidizes about 35% of its operations. Road CIP projects include the 700 North extension (construction FY2027), the 200 South/300 West roundabout (MAG), the Pony Express Corridor (city's 50% MAG match), the 1100 South/100 East intersection and Lakeshore Drive Phase 1. Councilmember Hunter urged a study of a transportation utility fee (about $50,000); Carroll worried about residents' ability to pay. Park impact fees fund the Art Dye Trail (with a MAG grant) and Lakeview Park on 620 South (preliminary $4 million). Police impact fees fund an evidence building and third-floor police building improvements (about $1.8 million). Local Building Authority lease revenue bonds for the public works facility were issued in January rather than March, saving about $1.2 million; proceeds total about $40 million.

   • Public works facility LBA lease revenue bonds: about $40 million, issued January 2026; about $1.2 million saved
   • Lakeview Park (620 South): preliminary $4 million
   • Police evidence building/3rd floor: about $1.8 million
   • Transportation utility fee study: about $50,000 (not decided)
