Renewal: MOCC Renewal Update – Mike Albert and Mike have kept in contact with Donnie Rosa, and found that there is currently 20 million dollars in the budget for the renewal. However, for the renewal to be an emerging priority and be considered a valid item in the budget process, public consultation will need to be done, which is supposedly being talked about at the moment. Donnie says the RFP (request for proposal) is in order, but we are not quite sure if it is open or closed. In addition, she asked to have one or more board members to be on the steering committee, which works with Parks Board, to know what is going on and be given a chance to put in our input.
