Discussions focused on advancing conceptual designs for three potential sites, developing rough order of magnitude cost estimates, and incorporating community feedback through upcoming forums and digital communications. The committee emphasized the importance of transparent public engagement and strategic communication to ensure voter support. The meeting concluded with approval of prior minutes and scheduling the next meeting for July 13, 2026.
