Commissioner Wahl commented on items on the previous Work Plan that had been `championed' by others, i.e. Phase III of the Pioneer Cemetery Master Plan. She felt having other groups involved in convincing Council of its importance would allow for this Commission to focus on identifying other projects. Chairperson Bowers agreed and also commented on other groups involved with getting this project completed. Ms. Murphy noted that Phase III of the Pioneer Cemetery Master Plan is a priority for City Council and Mr. Beaudin noted that having the Commission identify three or four projects as their priorities will identify where funds should be allocated. Chairperson Bowers confirmed priority recommendations put forth by the Commission could be dropped off by City Council. Ms. Murphy confirmed that project recommendations listed by the Commission may not be chosen by City Council. Commissioner Wahl noted that a `doggy bag' project identified by the Commission as a top priority project during the previous two-year Work Plan had not been chosen by City Council. Ms. Murphy suggested the Commission look at where there is need in the community when choosing their priorities. Chairperson Bowers asked about items that were being identified as priorities by other Commissions and Ms. Murphy noted that the Civic Arts Commission had identified the Culture Art Walk and the Library Commission identified the Civic Center and Library Master Plan.
