at the work session, and based upon a consensus to proceed, more 'proof -of -concept' and preliminary cost estimates will be developed for subsequent Council consideration. COR and Wetland Study Update Bolton and Menk is nearing completion of the Wetland delineations and approval of those delineations by the WMO and COR infrastructure/site preparation studies. These studies will set the baseline information for options and cost relating to the installation of remaining infrastructure in the COR, These studies will also include information that will assist in development of The Waterfront park, the potential filling of wetlands for site preparation for Parcel 46 and other parcels in the COR. Staff anticipates that the findings of these studies will be presented in a future work session in January or February. Timeframe: Background and planning on The Waterfront's proposed community building: 10-15 minutes Discussion and inquiries on the park's planning process and timeline: 5 minutes Status of The COR — Public Infrastructure Analysis: <5 minutes Total Timeframe: 20 minutes Funding Source: Park planning work is being performed by staff and consultants funded by the 2022 General Fund parks operating budget. The COR — Public Infrastructure Analysis is being performed by consultants and funded by TIF District 14 and/or District 2. Responsible Party(ies): Mark Riverblood will provide a very brief introduction and background on The Waterfront project, and architect Greg Houck will present preliminary design of the proposed park building, together with a description of its utility and feasibility. Sean Sullivan will be available to address the wetland delineation/mitigation process (an element of the attached COR — Public Infrastructure Analysis and Wetland Delineation scope of work) and site preparation work required for Parcel #46 and other lands in the COR, if needed. Bruce Westby will be available to address the status and next steps of The COR — Public Infrastructure Analysis, if needed. Outcome: This work session case is a brief report to Council on the potential of a community building and associated park elements proposed for The Waterfront. (A more in depth discussion on the park and The COR — Public Infrastructure Analysis is anticipated early in 2023.)
