Washington Park work would repair pavilions, replace roofs, update siding, and renovate bathrooms; the related agenda document lists a proposed total cost not to exceed $223,516.70, including contingency, but the committee only forwarded the item for further council action. Sewer inspections will help determine which repairs may be included in the FY27-28 capital budget. Officials also discussed the need for additional seawall funding, a homeless shelter, energy infrastructure improvements, opioid settlement funds, and conservation concerns, but no final policy or funding decisions on those issues were recorded.
