Commissioners discussed timelines for presentation submissions related to TOT (transient occupancy tax) funding and set a process goal: begin presentations in August, complete presentations by September, vote in October and forward recommendations to the city council in November or December.

Commissioner Tiffany Meyer asked that the sequence of presentations begin earlier in order to give other commissions and staff adequate time to implement approved projects before fiscal deadlines. Staff liaison Adolfo Gonzalez said the city will hold budget study sessions on the 12th and 13th (viewable by Zoom) and that earlier submission improves staff’s ability to use available funds before the end of a fiscal period.

On operations and capital updates, staff reported benches for General Jim Moore have been ordered and are expected to arrive at the end of the month. Bids for the Oldenmire Center mural close June 20 at 5 p.m. and will be evaluated after that deadline. The Cotino Park muralist is scheduled to begin painting on June 13 with an expected completion in about a week. The utility‑box wrap program received 13 submissions; staff and the evaluation committee have narrowed the selections and will meet once more to finalize choices.

Commissioners also raised problems with the recent community cleanup: a local business owner complained dumpsters were overflowing and identified timing issues; commissioners asked staff to coordinate with the city’s green‑waste contractor and city administration to request additional bins or altered drop‑off times for the September cleanup.
