1. Call to Order

2. Discuss OSLAD Grant

     Open space grant through the state

     Total up to $600,000. Distressed community 100% and non-distressed 50%

     We need a capital improvement plan to apply

     We went through the parks to try and figure out what needed the most help Jacobs would be our best bet for the most money, we could also do Hereford and Butterworth.

     Keeping it Jacob’s park-specific will allow us to continue the master plan for Jacob’s Park and incorporate this grant planning into that

     Looking for a landscape architect with experience with parks to create a plan (this will be put in motion at the next city council meeting)
