Professional Services Contract for the City’s Parks and Recreation Department Comprehensive Master Plan with Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, LLC

Expressed frustration over paying for another master plan when previous studies sit on shelves and suggested partnering with the school district on a bond for sports facilities.

Argued for fiscal responsibility, stating that department heads should handle planning and assessment duties in-house rather than hiring outside consultants.

Asked about the budget allocated for city council retreats and planning sessions.

Questioned whether the $250,000 contract would result in actual construction or merely more paperwork.

Suggested that the $250,000 could instead be used to hire local staff for a year and questioned website updates regarding past studies.
