July 10, 2003 Page 3 Continuing, Sorensen said that the proposed Capital Improvement Projects list reflects a funding source shift from PDF (Park Development Fees) to an increasing reliance on partnerships, grants, donations, and intergovernmental collaboration; the proposal includes both the Prop 40 per capita and Z'berg grants, and $2,232,000 from the Districtwide Assessment, which has been budgeted toward new park development, tot lot replacement, and athletic field and open space improvements throughout the District. He explained the four priority categories, and said that the "B+" projects include: development of Phases 1 and 1.5 (lights) for Conejo Creek South; Lang Ranch Community Park Master Plan development; McCrea Ranch, Phase 1 development; and Northwood Park, Phase 1 construction. He said that "B" projects include: replacement of sports field lighting at Peppertree Playfieid; the addition of a dog park and parking lot solar lighting; new tot lots at Banyan, Conejo Community, and Conejo Creek North; and numerous improvements to open space and the trail system. In response to Board inquiries, Sorensen said that the expenditure list of Capital Improvement Projects identifies projects costing over $5,000 and the expenditure list of major repair projects identifies projects costing under $5,000; a roller hockey facility has been discussed, most recently at the Lang Ranch focus group meetings, and two years ago when the Conejo Creek Southwest Master Plan was approved, a multipurpose hard court for possible roller hockey practice was included; due to the desire of officials at the Conejo School for more parking space, consideration is being given to relocating some of the Conejo Service Yard operations and storage capability to other sites such as the Oakbrook Service Yard; and new efforts in programming and staffing will be enacted at the skate park. Jacobsen suggested that a climbing wall facility be considered. There being no one who wished to address the Board, Lange continued the Public Hearing to the next regular meeting. It was moved by Holt, seconded by Berger, and carried 4-0 to approve the Master Plan revisions.
