HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
On March 25, 2021, at the request of the Veterans Memorial Park Foundation, City Council approved the placement of portable restrooms at Admiral Mason Park for a period of one (1) year, with the caveat that the restrooms be open to the public.
At the time, it was anticipated that permanent restrooms would be built within that year’s timeframe. However, that has not taken place. Currently, there are potential funding opportunities for the construction of restrooms within the park area awaiting the Governor’s signature.
The Veterans Memorial Park Foundation is requesting an extension of time to allow for the restrooms to remain until a permanent facility is constructed and that this extension not exceed one (1) year without prior approval from the City Council.
Please note: Due to certain circumstances, the restroom has not been open to the public but for those times when there is a special event.
PRIOR ACTION:
March 25, 2021 - City Council approved the temporary placement of portable restrooms at Admiral Mason Park and required them to be open to the public.
