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. VIII. OTHER BUSINESS A. Annual EDC Report - Form from Texas Comptroller. Mike Stanger shared with the Board the form that will be completed and returned to the Texas Comptroller once a year.

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 debt service payment from operating funds instead of from interest earnings from bond proceeds.

Items of Interest to the Board Corporate Logo Mr. Stanger shared some proposed logos with the Board and suggested that they might want to look at an professional firm to come up with some ideas for this Board Logo. 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 PAGE 5 ALLEN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION BOARD DECEMBER 15, 1997 staff. X.
