MINUTES PARKS & REC COMMISSION OCTOBER 6, 2022 3 The Parks & Rec Director commented that staff has reviewed this list to ensure that it could be completed. He recognized that a large amount of time and funding will be spent on Pioneer Park projects. Chair Miller commented that there is nothing included on the list that has not been thoroughly discussed. He agreed that they should be aggressive with what they can get done to accomplish that master plan. He recognized that there may need to be additional discussion related to funding in the future. Commissioner Horwath recognized the need for continued maintenance of these new features and wanted to ensure that is considered as part of future discussions. Commissioner Schletty stated that after the completion of Pioneer they will have accomplished a few large projects and the trend may then shift towards some smaller items. He asked for more information on the land acquisition items. The Parks & Rec Director commented that some parcels have been identified as a desire for acquisition if they were to become available. Commissioner Abruzzese referenced the Gervais Mill entrance project and bike rack projects and asked for details. The Parks & Rec Director commented that those were projects approved in 2022 and therefore even if they are not fully completed in 2022, they do not need to carry forward in the CIP as the funding was already designated in 2022.
