A. CIP Project Priorities
Mr. Majors noted at the May 19, 2009 City Commission meeting, Commissioner Ross
had requested the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board provide the City Commission
with a priority list of its projects. Her request was based upon a monthly list provided
by staff to the City Commission and a list she had received at the May 19th meeting.
A list of Recreation and Parks capital improvement projects had been presented to the
Board at its June 22, 2009 meeting, and the Board had ranked the most important
projects in order of priority. The Barton Greenway, Palmetto Greenway Extension,
Pence Park and Meadows/Nautica projects had not been ranked. The Barton Greenway
and Palmetto Greenway Extension projects were funded by non-City sources and the
Pence Park renovation project had already commenced.

Special Meeting Minutes
Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 13, 2009
The Board was provided with a new list prepared by Ms. Rivers reflecting the feedback
received at the June 22nd meeting. As Commissioner Ross had requested all projects be
ranked by the Board, staff requested the Board prioritize the four projects that had not
been ranked and, thereafter, to provide an explanation as to the manner in which the
MeadowsfNautica project had been prioritized.
Acting Chair Orlove suggested the projects be prioritized as follows:
. Barton Greenway - #6
. Palmetto Greenway Extension - #7
. Pence Park renovation - #8
. MeadowsfNautica - #9
Motion
Mr. McVey moved to rank the projects in that order. Mr. Cook seconded the motion
that passed unanimously.
The MeadowsfNautica project was ranked #9 as there was consensus the project did
not have the full support of both communities, and there were more than enough
available parks within a reasonable distance to serve both communities.
Mr. Majors clarified while the MeadowsfNautica project was currently included in the
Capital Improvement Program, it would not be moving forward at this time.
IV. NEXT MEETING: July 27, 2009 (Tour meeting. Meet behind Civic Center.)
V. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to discuss, the meet properly adjourned at 6: 15 p.m.
