Mike McCarthy reviewed the citizen requested projects with the committee. Toby then handed out a rating
sheet and instructed the committee to list their top 5 projects for consideration. He indicated that some of
them may have funding allocated to them, depending on development,but to rank regardless of the
funding availability. Toby said the rankings will be given to the staff CIP group,who will go through the
same exercise and determine the priority list to give to the City Manager to take to the Budget Committee.

portion of the project that is on park land may be eligible to be funded by Park SDC funds,like
sidewalks and/or bike lanes that extend out from the bridge onto the park.
