Vice Mayor Waters inquired as to what happened as a result of the first building assessment that was conducted approximately ten years ago and how the new building assessment would get the town closer to developing a Master Plan for Steam Pump Ranch.
Parks and Recreation Director Kristy Diaz-Trahan said the first assessment was included in the original Steam Pump Ranch Master Plan, but, for the most part, no action was taken to preserve or restore the buildings. The new building assessment would document the structures in their current condition which would assist staff with determining how funds would be used in the future.
Town Manager Greg Caton said the assessment would help with data collection which would be used for future decisions.
