15 1 Commissioner Marcoplos said if the BOCC can fund the planning, and defer the 2 cuts, he would be supportive. 3 Commissioner Dorosin said the Board has already covered year one. 4 Commissioner Price asked if the Board could finish years 2 and 3 in September. 5 Bonnie Hammersley said yes, as long as a plan can be in place prior to the 6 County going out for borrowing. 7 Travis Myren said the Board should be mindful that if just the planning is in the 8 budget, the Local Government Commission (LGC) will not allow the County to borrow for 9 just the planning, unless there is a capital project following, so the Board will need the 10 full plan to be resolved in the fall. 11 Commissioner Price asked if the park monies would stay in the budget until next 12 week. 13 Travis Myren said yes. 14 Chair Rich said to come back in September to find the money. 15 Commissioner Bedford asked if it is allowed to do year one now, and put the 16 year 2 and 3 in years in years 6 and 7 of the CIP, so that the BOCC can adopt a CIP; or 17 does the LGC require the BOCC to have a plan that includes three sequential years. 18 Travis Myren said the Board would have to have the project budgeted within a 19 reasonable time, and spring would be sufficient.
