City Campus update by Nate Coyle.
• End of February there will be an important meeting for the city and library to meet
with/present to City Council. City goals - Long term home for parks and rec, currently
they are split up. Options include:
o Move Parks & Rec to museum site - construct a site.
o Look at purchasing a new site
o Combining P&R with utilities
o Gutting and rebuilding annex
• Potential for partnerships with Treasure Valley Transit now that they have purchased
space next to City Hall. They may be able to to put a department from City Hall into that
space. Waiting to hear if that could work.
• City is trying to solve the problems of Parks and Rec and having utilities all in one
building.
• John Powell has evaluated the annex option. He has some initial drawings for a
retooled/renovated annex. He was not able to attend the meeting.
• If it is feasible, from a cost perspective, to connect offices, the city would be open to that.
