Trustees schedule Oct. 28 work session to discuss facility master plan

The board scheduled a special work session on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 6:00 p.m. to begin planning for a potential facility master plan. The meeting will be an early-stage, public discussion to gather ideas and review what a facilities master plan might require.

Chair said she had an informal conversation planned with an architectural firm to learn ballpark costs and processes and suggested using that information to guide an October work session. Staff and trustees noted that while some funding was previously set aside by the city it is no longer available and that the board might prepare a proposal to present to city council when funding is feasible. Trustees instructed staff to invite Friends and other stakeholders to the session.

The board approved the motion to schedule the Oct. 28 work session and asked staff to document options and potential next steps for council consideration.
