Parks impact-fee projects
Summary
Parks Director Justin Pierce laid out more than 40 master plan projects — new parks in Oakleaf, developing Antler Run and Boyd Park, Lake Geneva and Lake Brooklyn improvements. Old parks' lighting isn't funded because impact fees can't pay for lights, frustrating the board, which wants that reexamined in next year's impact fee study.
