1. Welcome
Tim 5earing welcomed e�eryone. Agenda was re�iewed. Today's meeting will be a continuation of
the discussion and prioritizing the project types into a pie chart.
2. It was maved and secanded to accept and appro�e the Meeting 5 Summary.
3. The questions that have I�een accumulated are compiled on the Questions Tracking sheet. Regarding
ti�e question about acquiring grants as a source ot project funding: Grants are afways looked at, but
nat a reliable funding source. If grants are received, that would extend the number of projects the
initiative funding could fund. Also, re�enue from a new sports complex would not be able to sustain
the operations and maintenanc� of such a com�lex, so Project W would not be included in possibfe
projects for this initiative.
4. Kelly explained the twa new data sets (Packet 1, section 1A and Packet 1 sectian 5A)tha# are in
#aday's handouts. Also, Project B, Ron Regis Park will not be able to include a syntF�etic field option
as new en�ironmental laws and cades have changed since the 2011 plan, and prohibits ane being
located at Ron Regis Park. An alternative lacation may be identified. Project AG, Cedar River Trail will
be pulled from the project list as that praject is already cample#ed. Karen reviewed the cammittee's
mission identified by the city council, and directed the cammittee members inta discussion groups to
finalize the group's prioritization lists and pie cf�arts. The city staff will then take these lists/pi�charts
-�..
and create prioritiz�d project lists based on the CACs goals, and then another IiSt based on the
staff's know�edge af project needs and timelines.
