DISCUSSION OF UPDATE TO THE CDC MASTER PLAN AND PUBLIC SURVEY - Pam informed the board it has been 5 years since the last CDC Master Plan was done. To do another one will cost approximately $30,000 - $50,000. The board should also consider doing an update to the Park Master Plan at the same time the CDC Master Plan is updated The cost to do the Park Master Plan will be approximately $10,000 - $15,000. The City did a Turco Survey this past summer. The survey was done by internet and telephone in an attempt to reach more people. If the board decides to do a survey and to also use the same company the City used, we would find out what kind of controls they have in place, if any, to avoid stacked responses, we would discuss their fees and also make sure they focus on issues relating to CDC and parks such as the proposed Civic Center, Hike & Bike Trail, and the Master Plan. Doing another survey will show the residents that we are trying to do things they want us to do. If a survey is done it needs to be short and the board also needs to keep the cost to a minimum. 7. UPDATE FROM DIRECTOR / ASST. DIRECTOR- FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- The sales tax collected this month is less than it was at this time last year. The board needs to be fiscally responsible with their money this year. HIDDEN COVE PARK- The Ground Lease was approved by City Council on Dec. 6th; we are now going thru the Corp. approval process.
