He stated that one additional project was added since that time, making improvements to the farmstead house in the Trott Brook development so that house could be rented as well as reinforcing the barn structure. He estimated $95,000 for that project, noting that it would be proposed for 2024 and staff would bring forward those plans soon to ensure that the barn could be stabilized before winter. He commented that the ten-year CIP would move forward to the City Council and be discussed at one or more work sessions this fall before moving to a public hearing where the Council would consider adoption of the citywide CIP. He reiterated that the CIP is a planning document and does not authorize the specific projects. Chair Barten asked for details on the renting of the home as mentioned. Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood provided details on the rental of that home which could net about $2,500 per month and would secure that property as a person or family would be living in the home. Councilmember Musgrove commented that there are three pages where the total costs on the top do not equal the costs within the table. She asked if the table cost is accurate or the cost on the top. Parks &Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood commented that is a worksheet program used by finance that he does not have access to. He stated that he will send this to finance to update the figures appropriately before the City Council reviews this document. Commissioner Sis referenced the bracing for the barn property and asked if that is expected to be the final bracing or an interim solution. Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood replied that a structural engineer was hired to ensure this would be a good plan and that the bracing would provide the stability without impacting the view from the interior. He confirmed that this would be the final plan for bracing. Motion by Commissioner Sis, seconded by Commissioner Arts, to recommend approval of the 2024-2033 Parks Capital Improvement Plan.
