City task force weighs trails soccer fields and recreation plans
The Ottawa task force urged expanding walking trails, including Horseman’s Trail along First Street, and permanent soccer fields. It weighed shifting recreation programs to a city department or maintaining the Ottawa Recreation Commission, favoring keeping ORC due to cost. Coordination among city, school district, ORC, and Ottawa University was called for, with plans to upgrade the movie theater and expand the Municipal Auditorium. Padgett supported current operation under two OMA employees and an advisory board, noting budget delays may stall basement improvements from state aid withholding.
