The line item budgets are posted on my ning post as attachments above. "Base" is all of the items that we recommend as the base for the project. "Learnable" are those items within the base that are based on our…"
Matt Perry replied to Jennifer Ringold's discussion Information Requests and Sites Under Consideration by CAC"Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for this information. What is the difference between "base" and "learnable" costs? Second, if I add the two up does that give me a sense of what a planned/designed OLRA would cost versus what has been…"

Matt Perry replied to Jennifer Ringold's discussion Information Requests and Sites Under Consideration by CAC"Hi Jennifer,
Two parking questions:
1) As you revisit the parking analysis to address issues raised at our last CAC meeting would you also indicate what criteria was used to identify spots as potential parking locations for the dog…"

I asked in the meeting for a couple of things regarding cost.
1) A reminder of the unit cost of the three existing OLRA you gave at the very beginning of this process and the…"

Dean Carlson posted a discussionCAC Recommendations other than Dog Park Location
Since the September 12th meeting is (hopefully) our last, I was thinking about other recommendations the CAC would like to make in our final report to the Park Board that are outside of a Dog Park location in the 6th Park District. I can think of three off the top of my head but wanted to generate more discussion: 1. Encourage the Park Board to create a CAC to find a Dog Park Location in the 5th District. 2.

Vincent Moccio replied to Jennifer Ringold's discussion Information Requests and Sites Under Consideration by CAC"Ben: very nicely said.

Stephen Greenfield replied to Jennifer Ringold's discussion Information Requests and Sites Under Consideration by CAC"... the park board basically has $65,000 in annual profit from dog park licenses. The $32,500 figure came from a split involving the MLK debacle - 50% for a dog park (elsewhere) and 50% for MLK recognition in that park.
50% of the annual dog park…"
