Mayor Hosterman believed that conceptually, the basic improvements design plan is adequate for the purposes of allowing staff to discuss with the School District a cooperative funding approach. She is concerned that the City has not moved forward on the two-lighted sports fields for the Bernal property. She believed that the Donlon athletic fields project might preempt the City's ability to move forward on the Bernal property. It was moved by Mayor Hosterman, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to accept the proposed "Basic Improvements" design plan conceptually, to defer any plans for fencing until a later date, and to direct staff to discuss a cooperative funding approach with the School District. Ms. McGovern asked that this project be valued engineered to look at what improvements could be removed to meet the needs of the community. Mr. Brozosky concurred with Ms. McGovern's request and asked that it be included as part of the motion. It was moved by Mayor Hosterman, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to amend the motion to conceptually approve the "Basic Improvements" design plan, to defer any plans for fencing until a later date, to direct staff to work with the School District towards a joint funding concept and secure other funding sources if possible, and to direct staff to work with the School District to decrease the overall project costs to a more reasonable level for the City. Mr. Brozosky asked how fast staff could work with the School District to see if there is conceptually an agreement from them on the joint funding and how this project can be valued engineered? He would like for this to come back to Council as soon as possible and at that point, Council could determine whether it wanted to wait for the presentation of the City's Capital Improvement Program.
