City parks might be getting a $100,000 check-up from a consultant.
The consultant would take a close look at structures and sports fields in city parks to determine their long-term maintenance needs. The data could then be used by the city to develop a long-term strategy.
Some members of council would like the city to do the research internally without money being spent to hire outside help.
City Manager Tim Commisso says a consultant is needed because the city doesn't have the resources to do an in-depth study.
Council is waiting for a report on the plan before making a final decision.
