RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) receive and discuss a report from Johnson Favaro regarding the future of Veterans Memorial Park and Bill Botts Fields at Culver City Park.
BACKGROUND
At the City Council Meeting on May 8, 2023, the City Council directed staff to proceed with an expedited request for proposals (RFP) for a feasibility study for Bill Botts Fields and Veterans Memorial Park (to include Veterans Memorial Building, the Plunge, and other structures at the site). A park feasibility study is a financial study that determines the viability of a specific park and/or facility. The study can include a vision for the park and/or facility, what the organizational success looks like for the park and/or facility, and the community needs in support of the project. An assessment of the park and/or facility would take place and recommendations for needed changes would be offered. A feasibility study that presents a variety of options, such as 1) general cosmetic changes; 2) a medium upgrade with invasive changes and some renovations; and, 3) a full overhaul of the park and/or facility) would allow the City Council to compare and eventually choose a cost level that it believes will be feasible and acceptable to the community, should the City Council seek to move forward with the improvements.
