Item #1.0. Call to Order: The work session was called to order by President
Susan King at 6:11 p.m.
Item #1.1. Discussion of public hearing being held on March 9, 2000
regarding the expenditure of 4B Sales taxes for community development
projects: Dwayne Brinkley proposed a basis of projects, short term and long
term, for the board's consideration, listing projects and costs associated. He
created four long-term projects, assuming that the board would spend
approximately $5,000,000. Phase I, would be the infrastructure/drainage for the
80-acre park tract (estimated to cost $1,000,000).
Option One consists of the development of fields only. Option Two consists of the
development of some fields ($3.5 million) and the development of a new outdoor
aquatic center ($1.5 million). Option Three is a combination of the development
of fields ($1,000,000) and development of a recreation center (approximately
26,000 square feet for $4,000,000). Option Four consists of the development of
fields ($4.4 million) and refurbishing the existing aquatic center ($600,000).
All the options are negotiable due to the ability of adding or taking away fields,
lighting, etc. All options include a hike and bike trail around the perimeter of the
park.
President King adjourned the work session for a short break at 7:25 p.m. and
reconvened at 7:35 p.m.
There was discussion of options and the consensus of the group was choosing
either Option One or Option Two as the most practical for the money available.
The board discussed the ability to phase in more of the master plan as funds
become available.
The board discussed the role of the Parks and Recreation board and the role of
the 4B board and the importance of communicating with each other to make the
best decisions.
There was discussion of the purpose of the public hearing on March 9, 2000.
There was also discussion of upgrading existing parks, phases of the master
plan, shoreline study and capital improvements.
President King adjourned the work session at 8:38 p.m.
