VII. NEW BUSINESS
Michael Stanger suggested the Board consider a calendar process for the next
revisions to the Capital Improvement Program. He suggested that if the Board
wanted to once again use the Town Hall format, then he wanted to discuss
possible dates for City Staff Presentations, as well as Town Hall Meetings for
the general public to speak to the Board. Mr. Stanger suggested that they could
start as early as January and therefore be to the Resolution point in the process
by May -June time frame.
Don Horton, Director of Parks and Recreation suggested the use of an
application for persons wishing to propose a project for the Board to consider.
It was recommended that staff presentations be done separately from the general
public presentations. Also, it was decided that the application process could be
reviewed at the January meeting of this Board.

Taxes.
The report indicated that the Corporation would end FY1997-98 with a
balance forward of $808,640, unless the Board wishes to make the first

earnings from bond proceeds. The members agreed to make the
payment from interest earned.
C. Items of Interest to the Board

Calendar
Regular Meeting - City Staff Presentations, Monday January 19, 7 pm
Special Called Meeting - Town Hall Meeting, Tuesday, February 3 7 pm
Regular Meeting - City Staff Presentations, Monday, February 16 7 pm
Concerning the Highland Meadows footbridge, Don Horton reported that today
four different sites have been staked, and they will be surveyed later this week.
When that is done, the City will have a better idea of the costs involved, and
may be looking at pre -fabricated units, as well as building something on site.
He indicated that the creek was much wider than previously estimated, and
therefore the cost of the bridge much higher.
Lonnie Thomas suggested staff prepare a time -line progress report of the
projects and give to the Board once a month at their regular meeting. He
suggested it contain information about key points in the project, and expected
dates of completion. He felt the Board could use this information to plan the
use of funding, and be kept better prepared to answer questions from the citizens
of Allen. Michael Stanger said he would work on that request.
Don Horton provided a brief update on the Natatorium project for which an
RFQ is being prepared for distribution this week, along with a brief update on
the Allen Station Park project.
Don also provided information on a recent meeting with the residents who live
7 along Mustang Creek, both the north end and south end. He said the
information gathered and distributed at that meeting would be very valuable to
