worthwhile project and one that is easily justified; however, due to the estimated seven million dollar price tag, the majority of the funding would need to come from a tax levy. This project is programmed in the CIP for 2010, but before the project starts, the Council will need to decide if the timing is right to move forward. Other projects such as park improvements have typically been funded entirely without tax revenue. These improvements rely on park dedication funds, and if those funds aren't available, projects programmed in the CIP might need to be delayed. The CIP includes a list of park improvements in 2013. Those have been placed in the CIP because they are high priority park development projects; however, those projects will not be funded until adequate park dedication funds are available. With the drastic slow-down in development, park dedication fees have dropped off considerably, and the funds that are available are needed to pay existing obligations. The park improvement fund is also available to fund existing obligations along with on-going improvements to the existing park facilities. Another park project has come up recently that is not included in the CIP; the Woodland Trails Park house was recently vacated, and staff has determined it should not be rented again due to its condition. More information on this item will be available at the meeting. As I stated, the intent of the worksession is to discuss the CIP and gather input from the Council on the projects included in the draft CIP and to add projects you feel should be included. Following your discussion, the CIP will be brought back to the Council for formal adoption at an upcoming meeting.
