a. CIVIC CENTER MASTER PLAN ADOPTION
Summary:
Last year, the City began working on the Civic Center Master Plan (CCMP). The purpose of the CCMP is to work with our community to reimagine the Civic Center and incorporate desired amenities that will serve future residents. In December 2023, the City Council selected “The Campus” as the desired alternative which emphasizes the construction of a new amphitheater, active and passive recreational elements, and a new Community Center. Given the large scope and related cost associated with developing the project, the CCMP is divided into three primary phases. Phase 1 of the CCMP, which includes the amphitheater and expanded parking lot along 21st street, is in the pre-development phase. Phases 2 and 3 include a new community center, sports courts, playground, improvements to Jessie Nelson Circle, and accessibility improvements. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the City Council with an opportunity to provide additional feedback regarding the final Civic Center Master Plan as well as the proposed funding and phasing plan. As the project continues developing, staff will return to update the City Council regarding progress on various elements including final design, bidding, construction, and funding opportunities.
