Commissioners approve two Frisco park projects; ask staff about equitable matching for smaller cities
Summary
The court approved funding for two Frisco parks/open-space projects that staff had recommended; commissioners asked staff to consider matching splits that favor smaller cities in future rounds of the Parks and Open Space Funding Assistance Program.
Engineering staff presented two City of Frisco open-space projects that had been on the recommended list; the court approved release of funds after a motion and second.
Commissioners noted Frisco, McKinney and Plano have greater bonding capacity and asked staff to prepare options that provide higher relative support for smaller cities, such as tiered matching splits or population-based prioritization, so future rounds are equitable. The court approved the projects 5-0 and asked staff to return with policy options before the next submittal cycle.
"I would like for staff to bring back that discussion item for us to have as it relates to the parks...to try and level the playing field as it relates to these items," one commissioner said.
