Benton committees set Sept. 15 review of three projects

Benton committees are scheduled to review three community matters on Sept. 15: a Southwest Trail land swap, a police drone contract and upgrades to parks.

Southwest Trail land swap

The agenda includes a land swap connected to the Southwest Trail. The review will concern the proposed exchange of property, but the available details do not identify the parcels involved, the parties to the swap or the terms under consideration.

Police drone contract

Committees also are set to review a contract involving police drones. The item places the contract before the committees on Sept. 15. The contract’s cost, length and proposed vendor are not identified.

Park upgrades

Park improvements are the third matter listed for review. The agenda description does not specify which parks would be affected or what upgrades are being considered.

What the review means

A committee review is a step in the public process. The Sept. 15 date identifies when the three matters are scheduled for consideration; it does not establish that any of them has been approved. Further action would depend on the committees and any other officials whose approval is required.
