� w �, �,, �, Commissioner Pound commented on the various suggested options for use of State Parks Bond funds, which initially had been recommended for the Middlefield area: a) Proceed with purchase and relocation with additional funds from HCDA, revenue sharing, etc. ; b) Revise priority and shift funds to Canyon Park, Friendly Acres, or Woodside Plaza Neighborhood; c) Possible joint project with County, School District and St. Anthony Church for athletic facility for target area (would require expenditure outside City limits) . Because of the recently approved Block Grant funds, there was concern that the bond funds might be lost. Mr. Fales responded that there had been some uncertainties, but now there is assurance that revenue sharing funds will be available, and indicated that by Fall more information would be forthcoming with regard to additional funds, There was additional discussion regarding revision of priorities, and the lack of park facilities in particular areas. In response to question, Mr. Fales advised that the Federal and State funds need not be spent within the City limits, although it would, of course, be desirable from the City's standpoint. Park development was briefly discussed, with options listed in the following priority: Completion of Canyon Park; completion of Red Morton Community Park; initiate development of Hetch-Hetchy right of way; completion of Palm Park, and continuation with rehabilitation of neighborhood parks. During the concluding discussion, Commissioner Pound suggested an all-day annual workshop-type meeting for all Board and Commissions of the City.
