Commissioner Price said when she petitioned the Board about this parking request earlier in the year and the request came from the residents. She said the residents are not looking for parking on Rainey Avenue. David Stancil said he could re-distribute a memo that reflects the conversations. He said he would also be happy to attend the next Community Watch meeting to provide an update. Commissioner Price said the residents' hope was to dedicate a parking area in honor of an influential community member in the neighborhood and also to get the vehicles off the roads. David Stancil said Terrain Street is in front of the Park entrance, and suffers the largest overflow parking issues. He said Rainey Avenue is on the side of the Park and the right hand side of the street is vacant thus not disrupting residences. He said he hopes paving the police substation would serve as an intermediate solution. Paul Laughton referred to the blue sheet: Orange County CIP Recommended Projects- Revised Fiscal Year 2015-16. He noted the two changes on the back of the sheet. He said staff is seeking the Board's acceptance of the five year CIP but also to approve the intent to adopt the one year funding for the CIP for 2015-16 as listed on the blue handout. Commissioner Dorosin asked if everything on the Rogers Road Sewer Project is funded from the general fund. Paul Laughton said yes and the other funding would come in Year 2. Commissioner Dorosin asked if the funding for the Eubanks Solid Waste Convenience Center should appear in the blue handout. Paul Laughton said that is part of the 2014-15 financing package that will be closed on at the end of this month. Commissioner Jacobs referred to the parking lot improvements. He said there is one item in this category and suggested putting money in there for Fairview Park parking lot improvement. Bonnie Hammersley said this information is on page 34 in the CIP book. Commissioner Jacobs said there is $120,000 for one project and suggested putting some of the $280,000 PAYG funds, that were moved to financing, into this category and designate it for Fairview Park parking renovations. Commissioner Rich asked if there is an estimate of the costs. David Stancil said $30,000 is budgeted for paving of the police substation parking lot. Commissioner Jacobs said the total cost of the next phase would be $500,000. He said this would allow an access road into the park off of new 86, instead of all traffic going through the neighborhood. He said it would also move the park to being more of a County park instead of just a neighborhood park. He said there is not $500,000 available but it would be nice to get started on the next part of the Master Plan. David Stancil said other options that may cost less than $500,000 have been reviewed. Commissioner Rich asked Commissioner Jacobs if he could clarify his request. She asked if he is requesting funding from other areas thus leaving David Stancil's budget as is. Commissioner Jacobs said yes since Fairview Park is not in the CIP and there is not funding to do the whole project. David Stancil said the parking lot is designed but there is no funding. Commissioner Rich said this has been a project that has needed renovations for some time, thus she is in agreement with Commissioner Jacobs. Chair McKee asked if there is a specific dollar amount being considered. David Stancil said if the Board tells staff there is a set amount to work with then staff can make it work.
