Uplands tract usage weighed[/caption]
On Aug. 16, Sunset Valley City Council unanimously approved issuing a request for qualifications, or RFQ, for planning services for the Uplands tract, a 7-acre parcel of land south of West Hwy. 290.
Council has allocated $34,200 for Uplands tract planning this fiscal year. Council Member Rudi Rosengarten said she would prefer to clear the property and establish minimal trails without spending that money.
“I still have a tough time with this, where we’re spending any kind of money on this piece of land when we still don’t have the police department and the public works [facilities plans] ironed out,” she said.
The city is in the midst of plans for new permanent facilities for its police and public works departments, which currently operate out of portable buildings.
