the three cities to enter into. The agreement will accomplish the development of a planning
process for the preparation of a"Regional Centers Plan." Currently an RFP has been
prepared and is available to the public. The first week of September interviews will be
conducted, and we hope to have a consultant on board by the first week in October. The
primary objective for the consultant will be to define organizational structure, options and
solutions that can accomplish regional facilities. The committee will also want to look at a
metropolitan park district. Ultimately they will come back with a recommendation that a
PFD is the best way to accomplish the task. At this time no further action is needed.
