Director Mark Linder introduced the City staff members in attendance and

Snyder Architects, to facilitate and review the goals of the meeting.
Sharon then introduced Timm Borden, Public Works Director, who explained
that the main goal of the meeting is to gather information from the public
input on what projects are most important and to prioritize them for the CIP
budget.
Gail Seeds, Park Restoration and hnprovement Manager, and Barbara
Banfield, City Naturalist, then discussed the background and progress recap
and explained how they would like the prioritization of the CIP and non-CIP
projects suggestions.
Sharon Refvem then informed the attendees about breaking into small groups
and how to report their feedback to the entire group. After 30-minutes of
small group discussion, each table reported their potential projects back to the
full group.
After each table reported back to the group, Director Timm Borden wrapped
up the meeting by thanking everyone for their excellent variety of ideas. He
said the team will put the ideas and priority projects into a recommended
Master Plan and present the Plan to the Parks and Recreation Commission on
March 1. The Commission may make changes or additions to the Plan at that
meeting. The recommended Master Plan would then go to City Council on
March 20 or April 3, with any changes that were made at the Commission
meeting. In May and June, the budget discussions will take place and
decisions will be made on the priorities within the CIP budget.
