“There is no pin on a map for a lot of these projects,” he said.
Some of the largest expenses for the year, however, are planned for specific parks, including $375,000 dedicated to the next phase of work at Cascade Lake Park and $300,000 to install a spray pad and warming house at Lincolnshire Park in Northwest Rochester.
Another water feature is planned for Southeast Rochester’s McQuillan Field, which will use $275,000 to add a spray pad and ball field in connection to a planned land exchange with the Rochester School District.
The Rochester City Council unanimously approved the plan, but members also expressed concerns about future spending of the referendum funds.
“It kind of matches up with other boards of the city,” Eckerman said.
Commission member Fred Suhler said the boards shouldn’t operate like others in the city.
Library operations, he said, should rise above the political discourse that can come into play with other city departments, and the park board has its own unique governance, which he pointed out city residents recently supported through a tax referendum.
“I guess I don’t see the reason why we need to make these changes,” he said, calling the proposal a “radical change.”
Larry Mortensen, who was recently appointed to the commission and had served eight years on the park board, said he believes the proposed changes reflect how that board operates, adding that he can’t comment on library operations.

Plans for spending the annual $2 million in park referendum funds need greater community involvement and perhaps new priorities.
That was the message Monday from some Rochester City Council members Monday after they reviewed a six-year spending plan for referendum funds, along with anticipated city spending on park infrastructure.
“To me, in the last two months, when we’ve known we have $2 million, we haven’t done any public engagement, and that’s disappointing to me,” council member Shaun Palmer said.
