Driskell Park Building Assessment

end

 

Suggested Action:

recommendation

I move that the Mayor and Council authorize an expenditure not to exceed $38,000 to JMT for the inspection and assessment of the recreation building at David C. Driskell Community Park. This work will be conducted under JMT’s current contract with the City.

end

 

Summary Background:

The recreation building at David C. Driskell Park is more the 40 years old and has only received minor renovations over the years. City staff is currently working on the preparation of a master plan for the renovation of the park. This master plan will address the long-term plans for the recreation building. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020 a number of best practices have changed to protect public health. This building assessment is needed to determine short term work that should be completed to help protect public health, as well as inform the master plan process to determine the long term future of the facility.

 

Next Steps:

Issue purchase order and perform the building assessment.

 

Fiscal Impact:

NTE $38,000

 

City Administrator Comments:

Recommend support.

 

Community Engagement:

Community engagement will occur as part of the Master Plan process but will not be a part of the building assessment.

 

Strategic Goals:

Goal 3 - Promote a Safe and Vibrant Community
