Plans for new park raise many questions

To The Eagle:
When I last checked, there were 565 souls living in Cathlamet, so these are my questions about the Queen Sally park design, (The Eagle, 6/10/10).
Will the amphitheater reliably drain this existing aquifer sideways, or will water pool at its base and flow directly under the building? (I've had practical experience with this from my own faulty design.) Are any hydrodynamic or soil studies contemplated? Where is there to be parking for all that ADA access?
Can the Town (County?) pay a new full time employee for maintenance: sweeping, landscaping, trash removal, mechanical, water features, lighting, railings? Is there a realistic projection of yearly costs: labor, supplies, roof, utilities, disposal, security, insurance, etc. It's a lovely idea, but it looks pretty impractical. I hope Mayor Wehrfritz can make it work.
