Summary

Staff recapped the current LGA split—$140,000 to partner development, $136,000 to capital and about $459,000 to general fund—and asked whether to keep that allocation or redirect funds toward parks and trail projects.

Staff member told the group how the most recent LGA was distributed: "So this year, a 140,000 went to partner development. A 136,000 went to capital, and the remainder of roughly 459,000 went to general." The staff member asked whether councilors wanted to maintain that distribution or shift more LGA into parks or capital for projects next year.

Committee member and Public works director weighed trade-offs: moving LGA into parks could enable trail connections and specific projects, but members raised concerns about how the county treats certified amounts and whether reclassification would affect the certified totals used by the county. Staff agreed to check with the county and report back by the certification deadline.
