IN THE WORK SESSION
There was much discussion among Council members as to whether it was appropriate to set the budget now, before the building scope (and sustainability goal) had been fully determined. Capital, Debt & Grants Budget Manager Nate Rockwood contibuted to the discussion by explaining the mechanics of the project's funding source (RDA). As a next step, the team will issue an RFP for design services to help refine the project scope and budget. These will be evaluated within the context of the broader City Park master plan and the Lower Park Avenue budget.
