Commissioner Jacobs asked if Americorps would do the trails in the woods and Dave Stancil said yes. Commissioner Jacobs asked about additional information and a project timetable and Dave Stancil said they could come back October 18th with a timetable. Commissioner Jacobs said that he thought he remembered a construction date of 2007. On October 17th, the Board will be talking about expediting some construction projects because of the market. He asked if they had discussed this. Dave Stancil said that in some cases this will require outside assistance and this will not require any more time than doing everything in-house. It might even take longer to construct it without outside help. The timetable from start to finish is one year. Commissioner Jacobs requested that if and when they approve this, that it be mailed along with a timetable to all participants of this group and put up at the Northern Human Services Center and the neighborhood organizations and stores. Commissioner Halkiotis made reference to using outside consultants and said that there are some outside consultants that he would not approve because of their past history. He would hope that if there were people in Orange County that do this kind of work that they would be allowed to bid on the project. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve the master plan for the Northern Park (at the Northern Human Services Center) and authorize staff to create and submit a site plan application for the park based on the master plan and proposed Phase I facilities.
