City Council - Jul 21, 2026
Council adopted a long-range plan covering all nine parks plus the new 32-acre Bennett Farm site. Total possible spending approaches $50 million against about $400,000 a year currently earmarked, so grants, phasing, and creative financing will drive what actually gets built.
