activities. Arrival Activities will be designed to help understand who is in attendance. Some questions will include; where do you live and work, how long have you lived in Orange County, where is somewhere that you are proud of? Pearson added that success in the event will be attendance, and new insights from community perspectives. These perspectives will help to inform the final recommendations. Members of the PRC shared their opinions on what questions should be posed during the workshops, and what information would be most relevant. Henandez then discussed some of the visioning stations. Station 1 will be Ranking Corridor Priorities. Station 2 will be Exploring Connections. Station 3 will be Vision Statement Mad Libs. Martucci noted that feasibility would be an important consideration for her when ranking potential connections. Specifically, if there were ways to denote public land and open space. The final request will be the exit feedback form. Following the May visioning workshops, Gensler will be back to the PRC meeting in June to share insights. c.

Manager Recommended Capital Investment Plan —Stancil presented the CIP that the Manager brought to the Board of County Commissioners just the evening before.

The CIP is a 10-year plan, with only the first year on the plan being approved as part of the upcoming budget, and all other years are reevaluated each budget cycle. While the funding is still several years away, planning for the new Central Recreation Center facility will need to begin in the next few years. Stancil also noted that the CIP does not included funds allocated in previous years. e. May 7 Meeting Location —Council discussed the options for the May park/picnic meeting.
