Council huddles up on sports-complex plan Tupper questioned whether the city needs the sports complex. He said private entities in town already provide many of the same services. He said the should not build something to compete with private organizations.
He also said he doesn’t see many of the city’s parks as being busy enough to call for the sports complex. Rohr said the council can continue to make changes. “We still have the flexibility during design,” he said. “You can still cut and paste up until the time you’ve got a bid.” The money comes from a quarter-cent sales tax approved by voters five years ago for parks and storm-water projects. The city in May 2003 paid a little more than $1 million for about 110 acres northwest of Schifferdecker Park for the complex. Timetable City Manager Mark Rohr has said he wants to begin construction of the complex next year, pending council approval. It is slated to take 12 to 18 months to complete.
