2 <br /> Give t t fact , rather than creating a group to develop a new concept plan , staff suggested <br /> that citizen committee ( including the Board ' s representatives , Commissioners Halkiotis and <br /> Carey ) might be asked to review the existing concept plan , determine its validity , and then <br /> recommend which facilities should be pursued with the available $ 250 , 000 in funding . This <br /> process could be considerably shorter than a full concept plan process , and staff projects <br /> that - even with other ongoing resource needs for projects underway - the committee ' s report <br /> could be completed by June (with presentation to the Board in August/ September) . <br /> The attached process includes a proposed timetable of actions , a proposed charge and <br /> operating principles , and suggested appointments to the Concept Plan Review Committee . If <br /> the Board finds this process acceptable , staff would propose to begin recruitment for any <br /> citizen positions on February 181h , and return to the Board with possible appointments on <br /> March 5 . <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT : Phase II of the project is funded at $ 250 , 000 via the 2001 Parks and <br /> Open Space bond . The total amount has been appropriated in FY 2002 - 03 . The costs of <br /> this portion of the project (design and concept plan review committee ) are expected to be <br /> less than $ 1 , 000 and would be handled by existing staff. Any needed modifications to the <br /> concept plan design would be accomplished by the Open Space Design Specialist . <br /> RECOMMENDATION ( S ) : The Manager recommends that the Board . <br /> 1 . Approve the proposed mission and process for Efland - Cheeks Park , Phase II , <br /> 2 . Fix the membership of the Concept Plan Review Committee , as desired , and <br /> 3 . Authorize staff to begin recruitment for the Concept Plan Review Committee , to be <br /> appointed in March . <br />
