OLD BUSINESS
A. 2008 CIP List
I

7/24/2007
Cassidy stated you are looking at 2 lists: #1 is the Borough's large general list, and the other is the
2007-16 Priority CIP List that the borough lobbyist is interested in acquiring. Cassidy provided both
because the lobbyist spends the most time on the Priority List. If we get a call from the representative
of the Senator asking if we have any projects worth $50,000 we can get the list out and start naming
projects. It just depends on what level they will fund. We are about to start our 2008 CIP process and
thought this would be a good place to start. On our webpage is the nomination form so if you have a
project you're interested in send your form to Sheila.
Dvorak stated a planning project can be a capital project if it is of sufficient magnitude. Normally, it's
$50,000. If it's $10,000 or $15,000 it should be budgeted as part of a work program.
Cassidy stated he thinks the Trails Plan can be put in, but it needs to be defined. We can divide the
project up into design and the different phases. Breaking it down into manageable portions is
probably what we are hearing now from our lobbyist. He said we have $64,000, but it depends on
what the legislature is doing, it just depends on the trend.
SIROFCHUCK stated he looked at the list and their priorities are still there.
SALTON STALL feels the Trails Plan and the Chi cheno ff Trail should be added. He also said he likes
it in the order it is now but wants to add the Trails Plan which is $60,000. The A TV Park was on the
list but it's not there now.
Dvorak stated this is what the Assembly adopted and the A TV Park probably got dropped at the
Assembly level. A scoring sheet with different criteria columns is used to determine which projects
has the highest need and the highest probability of success. He reminded them the Worn ens Bay
residents didn't want the A TV Park at Salonie. Without a complete project concept and a proposed
location he doesn't think it's catching people's attention.
FOREMAN asked Dvorak about the list of people we invited the last time we had the group in here.
She feels that in lieu of them coming to a meeting staff should at least email them with the link to the
CIP form and tell them we will be resolving our CIP List to go forward to the borough and they
should get the forms back to us.
Dvorak said if you have your list done by the 2nd week in August. The commission has to make their
recommendation by October I st. As long as you have your recommendations in hand and adopted by
the 2nd meeting in August.
SIROFCHUCK directed staff to contact the people on the list and invite them to submit their list in
writing or in person.
Cassidy suggested public service announcements.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Parks & Recreation Review of the Draft Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map 9.3
Cassidy stated this started with a public testimony statement from FOREMAN at the Comprehensive
Plan review at the P&Z meeting. This is the regional blow up map that shows the recreational sites.
He also said we are in the process of merging the maps into the plan.
Dvorak said we have printed mostly maps of the road system and maps that mostly dealt with land
use. We didn't print the 17b easement maps. It will only show those trails that are safe to publish. Not
all the maps are on the website either because they weren't considered ready.
It was the consensus of the committee that the following should be on the recreational sites map:
American River, Kalsin Bay/Olds River, Pasagshak, Womens Bay Recreation Area, Sacramento
River & beaches, Anton Larsen Pass, Cliff Point, Fossil Beach/Narrow Cape, Long Island, Woody
