CDCIP Board Role &CIP Process Overview Ms. Molinari reviewed the formal role of the CDCIP Advisory Board as established in City Code. She explained that the Board serves in an advisory capacity to the Mayor regarding the planning, assessment, and allocation of community development grants and capital improvement funding. Although advisory, the Board's scores, comments, and rankings provide significant input into funding recommendations. Ms. Molinari outlined the Capital Improvement Program timeline, including constituent application intake, staff collaboration, Board review and scoring, recommendations to the Mayor, and final funding decisions by the City Council. She explained the distinction between constituent applications and internal City department projects reviewed by the Capital Asset Planning (CAP) Committee. D.

She summarized the distribution by project type, noting strong demand for transportation and public lands projects, and reviewed application distribution across City Council districts. Ms. Molinari reviewed the Board's meeting schedule, attendance expectations, quorum requirements, and upcoming milestones. The presentation slides are attached. E. Questions and Discussion on Proposed CIP Projects-Constituent Public Lands Applications Curtis Park Playground Replacement Constituent-was not in attendance Public Lands staff responded to Board questions regarding project timing, coordination with Foothill Village development, anticipated usage, and how the request related to the City's internal playground replacement program. Community Development&Capital Improvement Program Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 2 February 2026 Staff explained that connectivity improvements from Foothill Village to Curtis Park were expected to be completed prior to any potential CIP-funded work. Staff noted that based strictly on conditional data, Curtis Park was not among the highest-priority playgrounds, though prioritization may change based on development and usage. First Encampment Park-Perimeter Fence and Vegetation Improvements Constituent-Jenna and Bringham Anderson Mr. and Mrs. Anderson presented concerns regarding deteriorated fencing, overgrown vegetation, safety issues, and impacts on park usability and neighborhood perception. Board members and staff discussed project scope, funding considerations, coordination with adjacent property owners, and maintenance limitations. Public Lands staff explained that the scope required a capital project due to cost and site complexity. Median Conversion to Parklet Constituent-Barbara Basmadjian Ms. Basmadjian presented a proposal to convert an existing landscaped median into a neighborhood parklet with infrastructure upgrades, trees, seating, and improved irrigation. Board members asked questions regarding right-of-way status,jurisdiction, regulatory considerations, and maintenance responsibilities. City staff explained that infrastructure upgrades and long-term maintenance necessitated capital funding and interdepartmental coordination. Outdoor Calisthenics Equipment Constituent-was not in attendance Public Lands staff explained that the final location had not yet been determined and referenced a similar project recently approved for Riverside Park. Board members asked questions regarding maintenance, comparable City assets, and historic landmark constraints. Staff clarified that constituent involvement is not required after funding approval. Playground Shade Constituent-was not in attendance Public Lands staff explained that shade structures are now routinely considered in playground replacement projects when feasible, noting that cost, site context, ADA access, and existing tree canopy influence design decisions. Community Development&Capital Improvement Program Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 2 February 2026 Public Pet Memorial Constituent-was not in attendance Public Lands staff explained that while no identical asset exists, memorial trees and benches provide partial comparisons. They clarified that the proposal was intended as a commemorative space rather than a pet cemetery. Glendale Park Sport Court Lighting Constituent-Turner Bitton Mr. Bitton presented the proposal to add lighting to pickleball courts to increase evening usability. Public Lands staff explained that current Glendale Park Phase 2 improvements did not include lighting but noted that Glendale Park is a high priority in an upcoming internal programmatic request for sport court lighting. Jordan Park Basketball Court Constituent-Lance Lavizzo Mr. Lavizzo presented the proposal to construct a full-court basketball facility. Board members and staff discussed potential locations, identifying the southwest portion of Jordan Park as the most viable option. Public Lands staff explained that the proposal would avoid conflicts with existing amenities and noted recent approvals of similar courts along the Jordan River Parkway corridor. Nature Park at Bonneville Golf Course Constituent-was not in attendance Public Lands staff explained that the golf division owns the property as an enterprise fund and that the project would require an agreement allowing public access. They clarified that the request focused on site improvements rather than property acquisition. Ms. Molinari noted that the applicant's use language "significant fire hazard in the area" represents the constituent's opinion and does not reflect a designation made by the Fire Department. An evaluation of the area would need to be completed by the Fire Department prior to assigning the level of fire risk. Wasatch Hollow Dog Park Constituent-John Rosswog Mr. Rosswog presented the proposal to formalize a fenced, half-acre off-leash dog area to address long-standing user conflicts. Community Development&Capital Improvement Program Advisory Board Meeting Minutes 2 February 2026 Public Lands staff presented a conceptual study area and explained maintenance challenges, erosion concerns, and best practices for fenced dog areas. Crushed stone was identified as the preferred surface material due to durability and maintenance considerations. F. Staff Updates Ms. Molinari reviewed upcoming meetings and confirmed that funding sources and eligibility would be discussed during dedicated funding sessions later in the process. She noted that eligibility determinations were still underway and would be shared once finalized. Ms. Molinari also informed the Board that the City plans to transition away from the ZoomGrants platform in the future.
