Re: Agenda Item
Authorization Request
to Advertise a Request For
Qualifications
This is an initial step, placing a Request for Qualifications, should provide a consultant
to bring about much needed improvement, particularly in Fuchs park.
As you are aware, there several alternatives that can be utilized to address the capital
improvements needed. We have decided to focus on since this appears to be a promising
direction.
Seeking grant funds for these improvements is a specialized and sometimes lengthy
process however that requires more time and attention than is presently available through
Parks and Recreation or the Office of Development due to their other assignments.
I urge your support of this resolution.
