Subject: City Council Agenda (April 14, 2022)
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor and/or Councilmembers and answers provided
by City staff regarding tonight’s Council meeting agenda.
Action Calendar – Item 19:
• Question: Is there a plan to secure resident input on the designs for the improved park?
o Answer: The item on this agenda related to Palma Village Park is requesting
authorization to utilize State Parks and Recreation funding to upgrade existing lighting
at the park and replace existing park tables and benches. This project was developed
based on community feedback received from a survey sent to neighboring residents in
2021. The results showed that residents highlighted safety as an area in need of
improvement. Additional community input is not currently planned for this project in
Palma Village Park.
Community outreach will be conducted in the coming months for another improvement
to Palma Village Park that will include the potential removal of the beach volleyball
court and replacement with a street hockey rink. Other options will be presented such
as security cameras and additional shade structures. Resident feedback will be
requested via a postcard mailer with a QR code to a brief questionnaire.
