Supervisors press for public meetings as park plan is refined ahead of Feb. 10 review

Staff said they are updating the park plan draft and will share revisions with the board and the EPA/partners in advance of a Feb. 10 review with consultant TRC. A staff representative said the revised draft will incorporate recent comments and be ready for board review.

Several supervisors urged scheduling multiple public input meetings, with one specifically requesting at least three sessions including a weekend meeting so residents who work can attend. "I really think that we need to have 1 on the weekend," a supervisor said, adding that the board should record questions and concerns and that staff would set meeting dates.

Why it matters: public meetings will shape design, phasing and funding priorities for a long-term park project and inform decisions about bonds, grants and staged work.

What comes next: staff and consultants will finalize the revised draft, and the board will set dates for public meetings and any necessary public hearings tied to funding decisions.
