STUDY SESSION AGENDA

  • Levels of Service
  • Equity Mapping
  • Concept Plan Framework 
    • Community Center*
    • Naranja Park
    • Riverfront Park
    • James D. Kriegh Park
    • Steam Pump Ranch 
  • Next Steps
*It was noted that Concept Plans for the Community Center was for the outdoor space only, there will be a separate concept plan developed for the Community Center's indoor space. Mr. Svetz concluded with a presentation timeline. The next presentation will be held at a Virtual Community Meeting on November 12th.

Chair Temple opened the public comment period.
No one wished to speak.
Chair Temple closed the public comment period.

Chair Temple then allowed for questions and discussion. 
  • Member Wood commented that the golf course at Vistoso should be removed from the map before presented to the public.  Mr. Svetz agreed to do so. Member Coyle asked for clarification neighborhood and HOA parks, both are generally interchangeable in Oro Valley and designed to service a very small area. 
  • Member Coyle asked about implementation of the concept plans and costs. Mr. Svetz added most existing parks will be about lifecycle replacement and that reconfiguring parks and adding amenities should result in future prioritized strategic plans.  No costs have been visited at this time, however the future CIP cost plan will include 1) lifecycle, 2) upgrading, and 3) a phased plan for Naranja Park.  
  • Member Cachoeira commented Oro Valley has two baseball little leagues with 300-500 kids who do not practice in Oro Valley, and he was in favor of a free and accessible splash pad.  Member Saletta asked about criteria of critical items and how they relate to the CIP.  Mr. Svetz commented that the critical items should have been taken care of already, and will be taken care of first. 
  • Chair Temple asked about synergies relative to the Riverfront Park amphitheater and Steam Pump Ranch open-air space.  Mr. Svetz responded that prior surveys by constituents resulted in community rated events as a number one priority.  Providing a small space Steam Pump Ranch, a small to medium space at Riverfront Park, and eventually a large community wide or multi day event space at Naranja Park would be the best way to fulfill this priority.
