16 <br />1 Dave Stancil said, as noted in abstract, there is a long history of working together on <br />2 parks and open space projects, such as the newest — Cedar Falls Complex. He said there are <br />3 opportunities on the horizon, and one of these is Millhouse Park. He said this is literally on the <br />4 rural buffer line, and it is a good possibility for a joint county town project. He said the Hollow <br />5 Rock project is another joint project, as well as the Jordan Lake Macro site and others. <br />6 Council Member Harrison suggested there be work on pedestrian bicycle lanes as a <br />7 joint opportunity by the Millhouse property. <br />8 Council Member Cianciolo said he lives near Cedar Falls Park, and that artificial turf field <br />9 is getting a lot of use. He said this artificial turf should be considered for future projects. <br />10 Chair Jacobs referenced an information item regarding a possible bond referendum. He <br />11 said part of this could involve anticipatory planning for park development with the municipalities. <br />12 He said Millhouse Road and Twin Creeks would be the two places in this part of the County for <br />13 joint visions. He said soccer fields are major components on both of these. He said greenway <br />14 extensions are possibility for discussion. <br />15 Commissioner Gordon referred to the memorandum regarding the bond referendum on <br />16 page 13. She noted that this gives an idea of the schedule, but the Board has not decided on <br />17 a referendum date. <br />18 Chair Jacobs said the Board discussed this with the school boards today and will likely <br />19 look beyond 2015. <br />20 Town Council Member Palmer said it is important that the boards think about schools <br />21 differently, and joint programs need to be considered to address the specialized needs of the <br />22 21 st century. <br />23 Commissioner Price requested electronic copies of the PowerPoints be posted. <br />24 <br />25 6.
