[OMS_MANAGERS] Advice on Construction Project Partnership with City`

[Main Street Mosier]

Hi OMS Managers!

I'm Sam, the Executive Director of Main Street Mosier. I haven't been super
active in the email group, but I'd like to start attending the OMS
Round-ups at least once a month. :)

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has successfully (or unsuccessfully)
managed a construction project on city property. Our Design committee is
really dedicated to building a skatepark and the city is on board with a
specific site in mind. There's a lot of good energy to make it happen,
however our board is concerned about the scale of the project for a
non-profit org of our size. This will cost upwards of $200K and we
typically we operate on a 15-20K annual budget. There are concerns about
insurance, liability, fundraising, etc.

I'd love to talk specifics with anyone who has done or attempted a similar
scale public building project; what was the project plan like? What was the
arrangement with the city? How were funds collected and managed? Any
insight is greatly appreciated by our Design team.

Feel free to reach out to me directly: mainstreetmosier at gmail.com or
612-979-6617


Thanks in advance!
