C. 2040 Parks and Recreation Comp Plan Committee Member Paul Beggin commented on the additional paths that are noted for Floral Park.

Other discussion revolved around potential parks for gaga pits and adding a columns labeled Green Space and Sliding Hill to Table 9.1 – Current and Proposed Park Amenities. D. 2018 PTRC Work Plan Chair Rich Straumann noted the 2017 work plan as it was presented to the City Council was attached to the agenda and the Committee should use that as the basis for the 2018 plan.
