Phase 2 will develop funding strategies, partnerships, programming, facility concepts, project phasing, and cost estimates for priority recreation projects. The plan anticipates removing the current Stephanie Tubbs Jones building to maximize space for a new community center, while the Middle School site remains under consideration for a later phase because it will not be available for an unknown number of years. The committee also discussed renaming the Recreation Department to the Department of Parks and Recreation, but the minutes do not record final approval; Council approval is required and the change would have no financial cost.
