Process for Updating Plan on Annual Basis

(Agenda Item 3)

City Manager Donna Barron discussed the structure of the 2015 Progress report for Lewisville 2025. The report lists the major accomplishments for 2015 and action steps for 2016. The advisory board will assist in updating the Lewisville 2025 document on an annual basis. City staff will have further direction from Council after the 2016 City Council retreat to be held on February 19-20. Ms. Barron would like to schedule a 4-hour workshop facilitated by Karen Walz, consultant with Strategic Community Solutions. James Kunke advised that the City Council and advisory board may occasionally want additional input from the public. Mr. Kunke discussed options for obtaining different types of public input. Online surveys have been getting more response than in the past. This is a good option when immediate information is desired. Public meetings are another option. The City website has a public input module. Mr. Kunke advised that the City will be mailing a 2025 brochure to all residents. Methods for public meetings were discussed including civic groups, homeowners associations, neighborhood meetings, etc. Ms. Barron advised that an example of a topic that we will want to go to the community for input is the multigenerational center. Discussed dates for an upcoming workshop. All present members determined that they would be available on April 23 at 7:30 a.m. Board member Solete advised that he would need to leave the meeting by 11:00 a.m. on that day. Discussion for the workshop will include reassessment of the 2025 document. Capital Planning Report

(Agenda Item 4)

Gina Thompson discussed the capital investment plan over the next ten (10) years. Board member Hayenga expressed concern over postponing projects while interest rates are low. Ms. Barron advised that this issue is reviewed on an annual basis with First Southwest Financial and the City will maximize opportunities for savings as much as possible. Ms. Thompson responded to Board member Solete’s request for clarification that a 2% assumption or sales tax increase was used for this report. Methods for determining project priority were discussed. Ms. Barron discussed Valley Ridge debris removal as an example of re-prioritization of projects. This project was re-prioritized as an emergency and was performed at a cost of $2.4M, which was removed from funding intended for the bank building renovation. Ms. Thompson discussed annual projects. Ms. Barron advised that all land purchase funding is coming from cash; none of the funding is coming from the bond money. Board member Troyer inquired as to why the Civic Circle project was not a higher priority. David Salmon advised that there are some projects that are a higher priority due to grant approvals that require matches.

MEETING MINUTES LEWISVILLE 2025 ADVISORY BOARD FEBRUARY 4, 2016 PAGE 3 These projects must be done in coordination of the grantor time schedule in order to secure the funding. Discussed the Nature Center and Nature Park. Ms. Barron clarified that the Nature Center is to be located at LLELA and is all funded with 4B money. There is $5M funding this fiscal year and $5M funded next fiscal year. However, $10M is not sufficient funding for this project. Lewisville Independent School District (LISD) is considering additional funding for this project in their bond election. The Nature Park is a part of the multigenerational center. Funding from the bond will be used for the multigenerational center, not for the Nature Park. The design for this project will be completed, funded and then staff will look at additional funding for the construction of the Nature Park. 2025 Big Moves Update
