Preliminary scoping just to see how far down the budget we would be able to get . So in march we would like to come back with the plan okay with the 15. 5 Million Dollars this is the number of playgrounds we think we could do in the first effort and the schedule for those. I think the other main piece of the feedback from the Task Force Committee which was mostly at the last meeting that we rebrand this program and while failing playgrounds sells gets you votes for bonds its not necessarily the inspiring title that you need to engender stewardship and commitment over the longterm. I was unable...

Beautifully renovated playground in the sites that we have, but we do have this pot of money were hoping to leverage so the short answer is there is more to come on that.

Also the geographic kind of distribution across our city is also i think well represented, not the entire city, but i do think well represented and something that dawn said a few minutes ago around the bang for the buck. It was helpful to have a fuller picture with the c...

More expensive and not the budget at lafayette and had support from others. This will depend on leveraging the dollars with philanthropic sources or grant sources and we are working on that. Lisa bransten from the team is very involved in that. This is something of passion ate interest of the Parks Alliance and will depend on timing and the additional funding that we have.
