Mr. Newlon concluded by advising that staff would be going immediately into the budget planning process and he anticipated additional staff would be requested, but there would not be a request to raise the Inillage rate. He added that the City would continue to take advantage of whatever opportunities for improvements and funding options were available and staff would continue to aggressively pursue implementation of the Parks Master Plan and see where that would lead. He noted that staff would bring suggestions for prioritization of projects back to the City Commission at a future date. The City Commission as a whole commended staff for the work done in bringing such informative presentations to the workshop, and also on working to development partnerships with outside agencies. Public Works Director Mark Gisclar brought to the City Commission's attention a request from Mrs. Hatton and Mrs. Wilson, the two homeowners at the end of Triplet Lake Drive whose properties abutted the landscaping improvements made to the boat ramp area, to reset the lighting to be on from dusk until dawn. He and Mr. Newlon advised that the request would be brought forward for City Commission consideration at an upcoming regular meeting. 8.
