City Council Meeting

Stacy HallParks and Rec plus, I think, probably zoning to discuss collectively. Willard Sherwood, please. But if there's other Parks and Rec questions for us, please feel free.

JC MartinezstaffI think the answer to that question could be zero to $1.6 million. It's very similar to the school's $1.2. I can put it somewhere to sort of show, as listed on the screen and displayed there, what Stacy was mentioning that I reallocated and basically did way with any FY26 parks and recreation expenditures other than Willard Sherwood. Or I could change that and apply it to something else, very similar to the transfer that would be required from the general fund to the CIP, or to schools or some other CIP project as well. That that is ultimately what council would direct us to do.

Stacy Halljust a comment I'm personally I would think keeping those funds for right now and not recalling them would be the best choice I do have concerns about where we're going to be headed with middle school sports with the county at this point in time but I'm hopeful that that is a bit of a short term burden that will eventually be worked out but I don't want to completely option by recalling the four million dollars and again not potentially solving some of the other like issues that are going on as opposed to just pulling money from here and there just to make a budget for the one year so any other can I move to a Willard Sherwood question anything

okay can we discuss Willard Sherwood a little bit, please? I mean, I can ask questions, or I can... You can give us some information first, whatever you're prepared to do.

Brooke Hardinstaffby voiceMaybe... Maybe questions. I will, though, state staff would appreciate the opportunity to come in and have a work session on Willard Sherwood. Ideally, that would happen before you consider the budget. So if there is time for that to occur, we'd like to do that because it's a project with a lot of complexities and a long history and would like to be able to share that and kind of step you through the bigger picture and some of the details that we may not be able to do in conjunction with this type of discussion. So I will say that, but yes, please ask questions.

Brian Fosterstaffyes so that's a great segue if you would allow me to one of the questions I was going to ask so you we have the next meeting on the 22nd of April and there are several things that are on the work session in addition to budget including old town hall and and that was that was moved and so one of the questions wanted to ask is would council be amenable to starting the work set basically coming in early before seven i would we will start as early as you're willing to start but But whatever time that is, 5 o'clock, 5.30, 6 o'clock, 1.30, we don't care. But whatever time, the suggestion would be we would have a work session. All of these things that have been pushed, we could add Willard Sherwood.

Stacy Halli'm also on board with that so maybe i i feel like some of my questions are important to have now in preparation for the 22nd so i can at least do some digging on my own um so some of my primary concerns with willard sherwood um is that people that will be coming into the willard portion of this may have infectious diseases, measles, mumps, rubella, COVID, right? I mean, that would have been a big thing a while ago. So I have a lot of concerns about the fact that there's no direct access from the parking garage, to my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong. We don't really have the ability to separate people. We're going to have senior citizens there. We're going to have multiple child care centers there. And we may have a population of people that don't speak English

Catherine ReadAnd quite frankly, the Willard Sherwood Senior Center is going to be an upgrade. Yes. The facility itself.

Stacy HallI mean, I understand they have employees, but there's mostly drop-off and whatnot. And those same people would be coming and going from Willard Sherwood as well, correct?

Brian FosterstaffSo just if I may, there are, we have seven items currently for the work session. And I just want to make sure, because if there's something you want to push off, you certainly can do that. But I'd rather ask you very quickly. So we have the fire station three update, which I think you wanted. sort of separate but in conjunction with that is the PPEA RFI that we did on that project with the old town hall update or I say update go over that I think Andrew will be able to share what the bids are and other concerns about the paint scheme and scope and so forth so we'll have all of that available with willard sherwood which was just at this evening that's the first four the fifth thing that we wanted to have is we have done our procurement for the community survey and
