The Alpharetta City Council has approved paying a consultant up to $60,000 to update the Recreation and Parks Master Plan.
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., which completed the original 2015-2025 parks master plan in 2014, is to update the document in light of recent changes, staff said in a report to the council.
These changes include the passage of a recreation and parks bond referendum in May 2016, the acquisition of the former Fulton County library on Canton Street, the development of the Alpha Loop trail system, and the acquisition of more than 25 acres of parkland in the past year, staff said.
Recommendations are requested for recreation programs, the Wills Park Equestrian Center and Cultural Arts programs. Jacobs also will take “a high level look” at trails plans and evaluate the capital improvements plan.
The update is to be delivered to the council in time for the body to act on it in early January.
