2 John Link said that the County Commissioners should make it clear to the other <br />3 governing bodies who want the County to participate in funding parks that they are expected to <br />4 have plans for design and development already in place. The County's money should be <br />5 directed at the development of the facility. <br />6 <br />~ Commissioner Carey said that this objective could be accomplished by establishing <br />8 some criteria that determines when the County is going to contribute to something. One of the <br />9 criteria could be that the funding is in place to complete the project before the County commits <br />to to any participation. <br />11 <br />12 Commissioner Halkiotis asked about the Strategic Issue Team. <br />13 <br />14 Commissioner Brown said that while long-term recommendations and policies could <br />15 be developed, there would always be some things that would come up that needed to be dealt <br />16 with quickly. She said that the Strategic Issue Team was intended to address issues which <br />17 need a quick response. <br />18 <br />19 Commissioner Carey said that the best way to give the staff directions on what to do <br />20 is to develop some criteria to use for projects including a timeline for when to bring them to the <br />21 County Commissioners. <br />22 <br />23 Chair Gordon suggested going through the criteria for evaluating funding. <br />24 <br />25 Commissioner Jacobs said that these recommendations on the School/Parks <br />26 Reserve Fund did not have to be adopted tonight. <br />27 <br />28 John Link said that the Board should discuss the one-cent allocations. <br />29 <br />3o Commissioner Brown said that the 50-50 allocation is not enough to meet all of the <br />31 capital facility needs, and it should be the entire one-cent, and Commissioner Carey agreed. <br />32 <br />33 This issue will be brought back at the June 1S' meeting. <br />34 <br />35 John Link said that there have been two or three occasions where a school board <br />36 pursues a school site from a developer, and co-location of recreation facilities is factored in. He <br />37 feels the Board needs to make it clear what can and cannot be done with these funds. He <br />3s would like permission to add a bullet in this report about this issue. <br />39 <br />4o Commissioner Halkiotis said that maybe the Manager should have more than one <br />41 meeting a month with the superintendents. He said that the schools should remember that all of <br />42 the buildings and facilities belong to the taxpayers. <br />43 <br />44 4.
