On January 21, 2021 representatives of Sports Facilities Companies and the United Soccer League presented a proposal for a financial forecast for a proposed outdoor soccer complex; the minutes record "the actual ask - $48,500" and that "the City/TIRZ #2 owns it outright except for some proprietary formulas." On February 18 a City appointee raised "the public's concern about how money is spent." On April 15, 2021 the board approved the proposal "pending any changes," unanimously, after a member noted the contract allowed only one round of revisions and the consultant agreed to add another.
