She indicated the water feature <br />purpose and open space could be purposed and set as a focal point during this <br />discussion. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead asked if the Parks and Trails Committee could be involved in <br />the park amenity discussions. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated these decisions would hinge greatly on the <br />finances available for the parks but stated input from the City staff would be greatly <br />appreciated. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung noted they are more than welcome to attend the <br />worksession meetings and provide input but that at this point, there was not enough <br />time to go through the committee process. He stated he was most interested in the <br />water feature and the gathering area surrounding it. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead indicated the connectivity to the community would be <br />important as the decisions are made for the TCAAP site. <br /> <br />City Administrator Moorse agreed stating the residential and commercial sites <br />within this property can build off of each other particularly with a well-conceived <br />public gathering space. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead suggested the use of grants be addressed within each of these <br />discussion meetings. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung agreed. <br /> <br />Ms. Kvilvang stated she would add this to the discussion item agendas. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead questioned if there were any additional items that should be <br />added under "Other." <br />
