Long term asset planning
The session served as a foundational discussion on managing the City’s infrastructure and assets, prompted by prior studies on fire stations and recreational facilities. Staff provided a high-level synthesis of capital needs for various asset categories, including trails, fire stations, The Marsh, Williston Fitness Center, Community Center, and OPUS facilities. Funding considerations, such as a local sales tax, were explored. The goal was to initiate a strategic, long-range planning process, seeking Council direction on prioritization, timelines, funding evaluation, and future analysis or community engagement rather than immediate project decisions.
