By consensus, the Council dIscussed and agreed to the following:
City Manager Ambrose advised that the Council had raised prevIous concerns about
the funding timing of Area G Neighborhood Park, as well as the Dougherty Hills
Dog Park. It would be appropnate to address those concerns at this time.
Cm. Hildenbrand stated she would like to see Area G and the Dog Park developed
before the Area F neighborhood park.
CIty Manager Ambrose stated that the Dog Park was a General rund Park and the
Area G Park was a Public Facility Park. The Area F park developer, Tol1 Brothers,
had planned a pnvate center and was proceeding ahead with its development, so It
was in the City's best Interest to have the City's deSign done so that the City could
request the developer's help with some of the grading needed for Area F.
City Manager Ambrose also stated, regardmg Area G, that the City had 15 Staff
members working out of trailers at area G and it would cost about $357,000 and
take six months to move them to rallon Sports Park on Central Parkway. Temporary
moves could not be funded from Capital funds. ThIS would come out of General
funds. Takmg into account two months for consultant services selection, It would
take a total of 18 months for the move.
Jim Kern, Toll Brothers, advised that they were willmg to work With the City on the
Area r park, financlal1y or with other services.
CIty Manager Ambrose stated the City could accommodate work on both parks
simultaneously, and inqmred if the City Council had a particular schedule in mind.
Mayor Lockhart concurred that working on both projects at the same time would be
beneficial.
City Manager Ambrose clarified that Council was dlrecting Staff to brmg to back
before the Council the Area r Consultant SerVIces Agreement, smce the Consultant
selection process had already taken place. Additionally, It was his understanding
that the Council would like Staff to mclude Area G as part of the FY 2006-07
budget.
The Council concurred.

Mayor Lockhart stated that the City frequently had goals that were dependent on other
agencies and, many times, did not move forward because of lack of action by those
agenCies. Perhaps those particular goals should be marked in some manner to reflect
that, so Staff could more accurately reflect the goals that Staff had been able to complete
without delay due to other agency inaction.
City Manager Ambrose advised that the obJective could be removed from the lIst or could
not be counted.
The Council discussed the issue and directed Staff to leave all of the goals on the lIst, but
not count those that were dependent on other entities for movement when proViding a
percentage of goals completed.
