A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to appoint Lisa Stuckey as Chair of the Capital Needs Advisory Task Force, and Leo Allison as Co- chair. VOTE: UNANIMOUS Commissioner Jacobs made some corrections to the list of members of the Capital Needs Advisory Task Farce, and these were noted by the staff. Commissioner Gordon told the group that Ms. Mariah McPherson, who is a member of the Capital Needs Advisory Task Force, had a stroke several days ago. A note will be sent to Ms. McPherson from the Board of County Commissioners. 3. Review Remainder of BQCC Goals and Possible Schedule far Future Adoption of Goals a. Joint Master Recreation and Parks Plan Environment and Resource Conservation Director David Stancil and Orange County Recreation and Parks Director Bob Jones sat down at the table with the Commissioners to discuss this subject. Commissioner Gordon made reference to page seven, "Proposed Intergovernmental Parks Work Group develops parameters for standards" and asked if this had been finalized. David Stancil said that this was likely going to be moved to October 2001. Commissioner Gordon made reference to page eight, the last task, "Coordinate a recommendation for payment toward recreation facilities, including the evaluation of impact fees and alternative revenue sources," and said that she would like for this to go to public hearing in May because the County is basically losing money on this. Bob Jones said that the staff was considering using a consultant to expedite this quickly. Commissioner Jacobs supports moving this forward, but he thinks that May is very optimistic. John Link suggested that we pursue, as Orange County, a very solid approach to the fees, carry it to public hearing, and encourage the other jurisdictions to follow the County's lead. He said that trying to get all jurisdictions on board between now and May would be problematic in regards to time. Commissioner Carey asked about the plans for working with OWASA to develop plans for mitigation lands. David Stancil said that this was in the Lands Legacy program in the annual action plan and that there have been discussions. Bob Jones said that OWASA was participating in the Intergovernmental Parks Wark Group. Commissioner Carey said the plans with OWASA should be referenced somewhere in the goals so that it does not get lost. Commissioner Jacobs said that most of the tasks have been completed and the goal should be revised to say, "Implement joint approaches to recreation and parks," {i.e., coordinating impact fees with jurisdictions, working with OWASA, integrating soccer efforts, etc.). Commissioner Gordan said that this revised goal could be addressed in the next cycle. The staff will develop a goal that looks more into the future and bring it forward with the next set of goals. Chair Halkiotis said that it would be helpful to the Board of County Commissioners to have periodic progress reports of these various committees. He would prefer it to be paperless also. John Link would like to work on some kind of electronic triggering process where an update is sent to the Commissioners every two months. b. Historic Preservation David Stancil handed out the draft document, "Heritage Scenic Corridors: A Proposal to Retain Orange County's Rural Character and Scenic Vistas." Commissioner Jacobs said that he went to a Historic Preservation Commission meeting and a concept was brought up about heritage corridors and he asked David Stancil to bring a brief abstract for the Board to look at.
