Summary

Members expressed frustration at slow consultant progress on the senior master plan, asked for public meetings to resume, and received updates on new trails, drainage work and turfing of athletic fields.

Members said the senior master plan consultant was finalizing materials but that members had not been invited to public meetings and urged the planning team to resume scheduled public engagement. One member said, "If all of this stuff is happening behind closed doors, I don't need to be on a committee anymore," reflecting frustration about lack of outreach.

The board also heard construction updates: drainage work at a recreation site is largely complete, one baseball field has been turfed and sodded, and watering capacity prevents simultaneous irrigation of both fields until sequencing is adjusted; path grooming and parking lot pads were reported as done.
