Discussion of and possible action on a proposed application for a Meadows Foundation grant to build a pocket park. The HPO advised the Commission that she had spoken with the Meadows Foundation and was told that the City would need to have a 50% match. She asked Commission members to consider if they wanted to pare down the project to lower the initial amount that would need to be raised. Commission members asked that this item be placed on the agenda later in March so that the HPO could contact other companies for quotes. Motion to table the item was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Ann Rodgers. Motion carried 7 -0. Arvin Starrett asked the Commission if they felt the need to continue having meetings twice monthly now that design guidelines are available, especially since the Wednesday meeting was usually very short. The consensus was that the Commission would meet once a month and cancel the Wednesday meetings if there was no business to attend to.
