II. REGULAR AGENDA
C. Other Business
Board Member Tillis informed the Board that she looked backed through the notes from
the meetings to see if there was any costs that were missed that needed to be "nailed
down" to start the budget estimates. She stated that there were three types of costs to
account for. The first is finance, the second is operating and the third is construction.
She said that the City will determine the finance cost after the Board has assembled
their operating and construction costs. Board Member Tillis further stated that she is
concerned over who will be "picking up" the cost of the irrigation estimates and the street
markers (sign posts). As far as operating costs, she is concerned with the cost of water.
The Board discussed these costs.

issues for the medians and the front entrance. He mentioned his concern over the cost
of having annuals planted and hoped that the annuals can be "kept to a minimum".
