Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood reviewed the different Board and <br />Commission review that will occur, noting that the EDA and Planning Commission will be asked <br />to recommend approval of the draft plan. He explained the additional level of detail that those <br />groups will be presented and provide. <br /> <br />Chair Bennett stated that he likes the concept of improving the look of the pump house and the <br />desire to make that more residential in appearance because of the surrounding residential <br />properties. He noted that area also continues to be popular in terms of recreation and events and <br />therefore the bathrooms would be helpful as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sis commented that it is fantastic to see the level of planning that has gone into the <br />downtown area and how the plan has changed with the different economic conditions. <br /> <br />Commissioner Loss stated that this is the first time he has seen a lot of these plans and appreciated <br />that the City did not rush into the method of accepting any development and instead putting more <br />thought into the desired outcome. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that the intent would be to have <br />standards in place which ensures that development projects will meet the expectations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Loss asked if there is a timeline for the build out of Municipal Plaza. <br /> <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that he will be asking the City <br />Council for authorization for RFQ to complete the design build plans for the pump house perhaps <br />as soon as January with improvements to occur in 2021. He stated that he would also like to work <br />on the interface near the Affinity building in 2021. He stated that Center Street may be <br />reconstructed in a future year, so some improvements would be tied to that project. He noted that <br />some elements will be developer and/or opportunity driven. He noted that staff will continue to <br />explore grant opportunities as well. <br /> <br />6.
