strategic discussion. In addition, two public forums were scheduled for Monday, February 201h and Tuesday,

Master Plan. The Monday session is intended to include representatives from the Prosper Sports Association
and individuals participating in other local sports associations. The Tuesday session is intended to include
remaining individuals interested in participating in the gathering of public sentiment. Those willing to

4.Consider and act upon applying for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Small Community Recreation
Grant and the Texas Department of Transportation's Statewide Transportation Enhancement Program Grant.
The Board reviewed the benefits of each of the grants and weighed the likelihood of selection for receipt of the
grants. The Board decided that due to the immediate application deadlines and the need to have additional
items in place prior to application, the Board would not pursue the grant possibilities presented. With the
completion of the Master Parks Plan project, the chances of being awarded grant monies associated with
statewide and area grants is greatly increased.
