CIP projects. The Board and staff reviewed and discussed the preliminary list. John asked that
the following projects also be considered. 1)John stated that City Manager Skip Noe met with
Dr.Jim Scales and they discussed working together on building joint recreation facilities when
new schools are constructed. He stated that when that happens,there needs to be funds in the
budget for that joint project. 2) Establishing funding for a Greenways Plan to purchase land.
3) Obtain a user surcharge for adult softball for future renovation projects such as lights and
general upkeep and put it in a dedicated development fund. Steve stated that this would need
to be set up in the budget process if the Board decided that's what they wanted to do. It would
also take it out of the CIP list. Bob stated that the Board should consider requesting the same
surcharge for all adult users,and possibly youth. The Board decided to discuss this issue at the
