Recreation & Parks Advisory Board - Sep 15, 2026
Stormwater has undermined the side stage ramp at the Veterans Tribute, closing the stage. Bids closed September 10; construction will start after Veterans Day, followed by chemical grouting to fill voids under the tribute area.
Public Arts Board - Jun 17, 2026
