Minutes 9-19-96 Page 4 In response to Lange's inquiry, Sorensen explained that the planning process would be complex, its estimated completion time would be 12 to 18 months, and prior to public hearings, many community hearings are envisioned. Lange expressed support for the proposal. In response to Jacobsen's concerns, Ward explained that staff envisions a design approach involving staff expertise and input obtained from community -wide involvement, through advisory, planning, and focus groups. Ward indicated that background data can be important, but it may not reflect current community recreation needs nor the current conditions of the site and surrounding area. Jacobsen agreed that the planning process should not be encumbered by past obsolete decisions that may no longer be valid. It was moved by Holt and seconded by Jacobsen to add the Master Planning of Conejo Creek Park to the 1996-97 budget in the amount of $50,000; funding to come from Park Development Fees. Holt expressed support for the proposal and proactive response. Gillette agreed that changes have occurred since the development of earlier master plans. He said the problems and issues that have resulted from the continued development of temporary facilities must be addressed, an inclusive community involvement will facilitate this process, the District must assume a leadership role in the property's development, and the time is right to move forward. The motion carried unanimously. C.
