Lafayette City Council
Council discussed $71.3-$84.3 million in current and potential future capital projects during their Sept. 23 workshop, including:
• 120th Street/Coal Creek Bridge and Underpass: $900,000 after grant reimbursements
• Parks and Public Works Service Center: $5 million+
• City Hall Site (Public Road): $30 million+
• Bob L. Burger Recreation Center Rose Lueras Pool Complex: $17-$30 million, depending on scope
• Public Safety Complex: design work needed to determine cost
• Future Second Water Treatment Plant: design work needed to determine cost
• Golf Course Irrigation: $6.5 million
