I <br />1 Commissioner Jacobs asked if staff is trying to sell naming rights at any of the other <br />2 parks besides soccer.com. <br />3 David Stancil said no, not aggressively, but that has been talked about. <br />4 Commissioner Jacobs said naming rights could be sold for portions of these parks, to <br />5 help defray the costs. <br />6 Chair Dorosin said Commissioner Burroughs is not being a "Debby downer ", but he said <br />7 he does not think that the Board has been afraid of raising taxes in recent years, or has missed <br />8 opportunities to do so. He said the potential tax increase that is coming is because of the bond <br />9 that was approved by voters, and he appreciates Commissioner Burroughs' critical eye on the <br />10 parks issues, and hopes she will apply it to all other areas, including school budgets. <br />11 Commissioner Burroughs agreed, and said it is not necessarily wrong to not raise taxes; <br />12 but it is painful, and she will continue to look at this budget, as well as the schools' budgets. <br />13 She said the parks offer big chunks of funding that can be delayed, without killing the concept <br />14 altogether. She agreed that the BOCC has been a good steward. <br />15 Commissioner Rich asked if there is a timeline to determine the prioritization of the <br />16 parks projects. <br />17 Chair Dorosin suggested discussing this during the CIP work session. <br />18 The Board agreed by consensus. <br />19 <br />20 2.

She said in 2015, Commissioner Rich and former <br />35 Commissioner Gordon served on this work group. <br />36 The Board agreed by consensus to add the Strategic Communications Work Group <br />37 back on the list. <br />38 <br />39 <br />BOARD NAME <br />MEETING DATE <br />BOCC MEMBER <br />BOCC Member <br />BOCC member <br />Currently Serving <br />Serving 2018 <br />-2017 <br />STATUTORY <br />ABC Board <br />Monthly, Third <br />Commissioner Not <br />Commissioner <br />Commissioner <br />Tues 8:30 AM- <br />Required (non- voting <br />McKee <br />Price <br />ABC offices in <br />member) <br />Hillsborough <br />2018 -2020 <br />
