FAIRGROUNDS 11-30-16
Eileen Horn, Sustainability Coordinator, made a presentation to the Board on the Douglas county Fairgrounds Master Plan for landscaping.
Paul Newkirk, Bartlett and West, laid out the landscape options for gathering places and mixed use green space. He suggested using the grassy parking area for soccer games and Frisbee golf with portable goals when not used for parking. Horn said there are possible funding opportunities such as grants to use for playground equipment. They are looking at using native vegetation so sprinkler systems will not be needed.
Sarah Plinsky, Assistant County Administrator, said they have a $46K budget so they won’t be able to do everything at once. Phases II and III may have to come to the Commission for money. She is hoping the County can seek partnerships as outside funding sources or develop individual funding plans.
Thellman asked if the project came in under budget. Plinsky replied the construction is not complete yet though she feels comfortable that there may be some money left over to help fund the landscaping. We also need to figure out how much landscaping our staff can maintain. The fairgrounds received an exemption from the City of Lawrence because of the master plan project and the improvements to 19th Street. The trees to not have to be put in yet but we may need to come up with additional funds for those trees.
Gaughan asked how long staff feels it will take to complete all three phases. Newkirk said the three phases will take about 10 years to complete.
No action was taken.
