<br />Commission was informed that the Oriental Theme Garden has been on hold in recognition of the <br />increased maintenance costs that would be required to maintain this specialty area. The tabling of this <br />project has had a positive outcome in that specialty gardens like this oriental theme are now being <br />developed with new standards focusing on effOlis to reduce maintenance needs. All were in agreement <br />that any new developments need to include a plan/commitment for maintenance services and resources <br /> <br />· All agreed that the project is worthwhile, the dilemma is funding. The reality is that there are more <br />pressing needs with a limited budget within the entire Parks and Recreation System. <br />· What other funding sources are there in or outside of the City to help finance this project to complete this <br />project sooner rather than later? Are there other funding sources within the City that could partner with <br />such a project? The Commission felt somewhat outside of their element as to other possible funding <br />sources within the city. <br />
