Board debates 'Finish What We Started' vs new-projects bucket as July presentations loom
Summary
Members worried that moving large new proposals into the FWWS bucket could push maintenance spending over the board's allocation; they agreed to host presentations in July to let applicants emphasize regional benefits and any post-submission funding changes.
Advisory board members spent a large portion of the meeting debating whether several submissions — including Butterfield Canyon Phase 2 and pool renovations — belong in the "Finish What We Started" (FWWS) maintenance bucket or should be treated as new projects. The chair cautioned that adding major new requests to FWWS could eliminate other projects unless the board reallocated funds.
"If you add that $4,000,000 request to Finish What We Started, then something's got to come off to finish what we started priority list as well," the chair said in explaining the trade-offs. The board asked staff to have Parks & Rec staff evaluate new-project regional function and funding changes and to provide updated scores before applicant presentations on July 10.
