RDC to collect priorities, build financial model and return for prioritization

At the meeting's close staff agreed to compile the ideas discussed, categorize them into project lists and to run financial scenarios that show committed payments and discretionary balances over a five-year horizon. The Presenter said she will send a packet of questions and a draft priorities worksheet for members to rate before the next convening.

A procedural change suggested by one commissioner would create a formal pitch process: the RDC would designate a pool of funds for defined themes (education, childcare, industrial park) and invite organized presentations to request awards. Members expressed mixed views—some worried about optics (appearing to 'give away' money), others said being proactive would help meet strategic goals. The meeting ended with Committee member (6) moving to adjourn: "I'll make a motion to adjourn." There was no roll-call vote recorded in the transcript; staff will record the formal outcome in minutes.
