� � � � ,�� addition of substantial areas of maintenance. The question of maintenance was discussed at some length and it was suggested that the department's maintenance priority be altered to provide maintenance to Canyon Park with � no additional cost. It was pointed out to the Commission that there are always options with respect to the level of maintenance as well as what should be maintained; however, the difficulty comes in arriving at the priorities--who is willing to give what up. Several commissioners voiced concern that by providing numerous options in the Capital Program, it would reduce the possibility that the Canyon Park project would be approved. It was subsequently suggested that only the Canyon Park project be presented in the Capital Improvement Program, and that the other park projects be prioritized and held in reserve in case the Canyon project was not approved. Mr. �Jeeks indicated that if Canyon Park was the only proj- ect presented in the Capital Improvement Program, and it was not approved, then there would be little opportunity to offer any other options for Council consideration. It was pointed out that the Capital Improvement proposal must be complete and not fragmented. Further discussion resulted in the Commission's deciding that every effort should be made to emphasize to the Council the strong feeling that the Commission has with respect to the priority develop- ment of Canyon Park. Mr. Weeks indicated that this could be done in the budget justification which would accompany tfie Capital Improvement Program. Commissioner Pound suggested that each Commissioner should be present at the budget hearings to provide input to the Council . MOTION: Commissioner Rollins moved, seconded by Commissioner Pound, to list the capital improvement areas in the following priority: 1 . Canyon Park 2. Palm Park 3. Red Morton Park. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Further discussion ensued with respect to the prioritizing of individual projects within Palm and Red Morton Parks. It was determined that the 15 individual projects should be collectively presented and prioritized with- out respect to park areas. Additional comment resulted in the following motion: MOTION: Commissioner Pound moved, seconded by Commissioner �Jeintraub, to rescind the previous r�otion listing the priority of Canyon, Palm, and Red Morton Parks. The motion carried by the following vote: Yes - Commissioners Aldrich, Knecht, Pound, Schlesinger, Weintraub and 4Jilson No - Corr�ni ssi oner Rol l i ns -2-
