OLD BUSINESS
Director Pimental continued the discussion regarding the Capital Improvement Plan for 2017 — 2021.
The commission discussed three different examples presented by staff on how to fund the CIP over the
next three months with direction being to finalize the 2017 — 2021 CIP with a more aggressive
approach over the next three years to help get caught up on needed projects.
Next the commission discussed how best to integrate Public Art into the CIP. The idea of initially
starting with some functional public art was discussed. These would include possibly benches, bike
racks, etc. Discussion included possibly including it into each project individually or funding it as a
separate item and looking at what projects would be good candidates for public art. It was reminded
to the group that Forecast Public Art will be coming back with specific examples of where would be
good places to consider for art, and the process that can be created to prioritize.

Finally the list of projects that was prioritized by staff and given to the commission in June was
discussed with individual projects identified by commission members and discussed amongst the
group. Several were moved up in priority ranking after discussion, while a few were made lower in
priority or confirmed with the staff priority ranking.
In August the goal of staff will be to have a final list for 2017, and a strong start to the remaining four
years of the five year CIP for consideration. Timing wise it was discussed that the commission should
have a final list ready to go for planning purposes for the combined meeting with Council to occur in
October or November.
