In the work session on June 22, 2020, options were presented related to other possible locations for a food pod. Those locations were discussed in depth at that time and are the following:
- Butte Park (Funland/Splash Pad)
- Newport Park
- Orchard (Current Location)

Fiscal Information
Costs for each of the options are as follows:
