Gwen Indermill gave a brief overview of Proposition 12. Ms. Lindley stated that if passed, there would be two funding opportunities available. The first is a per capita allocation, non - competitive, to each Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes February 7, 2000 Page 4 jurisdiction. The second is competitive for grant funding. Commissioner Catrambone questioned the statement on Operational Costs. Ms. Lindley explained that this statement is to clarify that any additional ongoing costs that may incur from improvements made from Proposition 12 funding, will be the responsibility of that City or jurisdiction. Chair Dubreuil stated she strongly supports Proposition 12 and asked the Commission if they would request the City Council to publicly support it. She feels this is a great opportunity to increase the funding for much needed park improvements and maintenance. She also expressed how important this funding is, after the recent shortage of funds in which the City experienced prior to the park assessment district passing in June 1999. Commissioner Pflaumer stated that at this time, he does not feel comfortable asking Council to support a Proposition he has not had time to review in depth. Commissioner Thompson feels that since this Proposition is supported by the CPRS, she is also in support. She would like to see it forwarded to the Council, however, she does not feel it is the Commission's role to express a position. Commissioner Catrambone stated that there should not be a recommendation to the Council if the Commission as a whole cannot support the Proposition. There was one public speaker: 1. Roseann Mikos, Moorpark resident, spoke in favor of Proposition 12, and stated that she felt very strongly in favor of a recommendation from the Commission to the City Council asking for their support of this proposition.
