and a handout provided by the local soccer association would assist in the grant
process.

primarily dealing with labeling and the size of restrooms. When asked if there could be
other funding sources available, Council Member Ross noted administration would be
compiling their capital improvement list and the project could be included.
Kristine Schmidt -- Voiced her concern whether or not other user groups have been
considered besides soccer and requested additional information about the process.
Ross noted various public hearings and commissioners shared justifications for the
immediate focus on soccer and that other user groups will be pursued for input.
The Commission stated their desire for the Section 36 development to be included on'
the City's Capital Improvement List as the Parks & Recreation Commission's top
priority in the event Land and Water Conservation funds are not available. Ross

process of including this project on the improvement list.
