AGENDA ITEM 2 - Discussion - ~roposed Joint Meeting with Cj~9 Council Mr. Weeks indicated he had discussed with the City Clerk the possibility of establishing a joint meeting of the City Council and the Parks & Recreation Commission. The City Clerk in turn will contact the Mayor and the City Council. The Clerk felt that perhaps a meeting might be arranged by June or July. REPORT ITEM 1 - Budget & Ca~j~al Improvem~nt Committee Mr. Weeks mentioned that the planning and preliminary estimates were pre- pared which enables the Commission to look at specific projects. Priorities of areas and projects can now be taken into consideration and extended over a five year period. Mr. Weeks further indicated, that because of the need to defer Stulsaft and Canyon parks because of budgetary constraints and maintenance constraints in the next fiscal year, the.'.-Department will extend those projects into next year and reevaluate them for future five year plans. The current five year plan was prepared and submitted prior to the need to defer Stulsaft and Canyon parks. Mr. Weeks further indicated that he spoke with-~,the City Controller today with regard to the Capital Improvement Program. The Manage~ent Team and the Budget Team have both reviewed the program and have indicated in a tentative way that the City Manager will probably be recommending in his budget to proceed with the Red Morton Community Park project for $279,000, the Mezes Park project for $49,000, the Palm Park project for $32,000 and the small automatic sprinkler replacement project. Stulsaft and Canyon parks will be deferred for this coming fiscal year unless there are changes in priorities in the discussion with the City Council. MOTION: Commissioner Schenck moved, seconded by Commissioner Pound, that the report be accepted and the staff commended for their out- standing efforts and hard work. The motion carried unanimously.
