Director '
Chair Prazak introduced this item and asked Mr. Taylor, Finance Director, for an
overview of the C.I.P. Mr. Taylor stated that the C.I.P. was prepared in about
the same format as in previous years except they tried to describe changes in
the programs from last year, as the Commission had requested. Mark Grimes,
Director of Planning and Development stated that Mr. Taylor was presenting the
C.I.P. much earlier than last year because the City Council wanted the Planning
Commission to review the Program before it was brought before the City Council.
Mr. Taylor stated that a brief summary is now included at the beginning of each
section which should make reading the C.I.P. much easier. The Commissioners
agreed that this summary was very helpful.
The Commissioners had questions concerning various parts of the program. Mr.
Taylor, along with Mr. Lowell Odland, Director of Engineering, responded to the
Commissioners questions. It was asked of Mr. Grimes to talk with Rick Jacobson,
Director of Park and Recreation about the rational and timing regarding Golden

improvements for Brookview Park. Mr. Grimes will talk with Mr. Jacobson about
the Commissioners concerns.
