The future of indoor aquatics and upgrades to CiCo Park remain a hot topic in Manhattan.

Parks and Recreation officials are preparing a revised survey to gauge public support for a $60 million indoor water facility.

Director Aaron Stewart told the Parks and Rec advisory board Monday that he and deputy city manager Jason Hilgers gathered feedback last week from city, county and school district officials to help shape the survey. All three entities own a stake in the park.

At Tuesday’s work session, city commissioners agreed to issue a request for qualifications to find a hauler to help consolidate trash and recycling bins into centralized locations.

Deputy city manager Jason Hilgers said the plan, first introduced in 2017 as part of the Aggieville community vision ordinance, includes gathering feedback from local businesses, exploring options for recycling and security and improving alley lighting.

“We need a hauler to know what works and what doesn’t,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense for us to put something in place that we can’t find a hauler to serve. So the timing of it is really imperative that we get that entity on board so we can look at options and recognize they have the ability to serve that area.”
