Welcome and Recap of last meeting
City Manager Nate Coyle and City Mayor Aymon gave a brief message on the proposed L.O.T. funding for the
Streets Repair that will be on the ballot in November.
Staff Report
Dennis shared that development agreements are up as well as many building permits. Discussed that buyers have
to get the plan to city hall with planning and zoning and then to Parks and Rec to approve new parks or units. The
contractors are working at Rotary to repair the lawns that were damaged during the construction of the Lardo
Bridge. All the parks are ready for winter. Wrestling began on 10/22/15 and the annual photo contest is going on.
Advisory Board Role, Charter Changes
Austin expressed interest in being on the PRAC board. Chairman Irwin made a motion to make Austin a member of
the board, and it was seconded by Corey. Tyler resigned.
2016 Budget
Increases in staff salaries. On the capital budget, extra money will be spent on repairing streets as well as moving
the Parks and Rec. department out of the Airport complex. At Riverfront Park, discussion continues but will
amount to a new parking lot and to close off vehicle access to the river for FY16.
Advisory Committee Issues
Chairman Irwin wants the board to brainstorm on new projects or get goals together for next year. He wants to
know what the board can get involved in.
More discussion on the Recreation District. As volunteers on the board, they can participate in solicitation for the
Recreation District, but the City staff cannot.
Chairman Irwin would like the gravel on the bike path near the Smoke Jumper Base to be paved. Chairman
Lawrence would like the path at Wooley to be paved. Irwin suggested that maybe a field house could be built at
Riverfront Park.
