Reasons why? A lease is up and is currently in negotiation. e Is there a time frame on completion of the upda#e? This will go on for 20 years — after all three jurisdictions adopt the Concept Plan update, the implementation phase will begin. • How is funding provided? Each jurisdiction has responsibil4 for the funding of thexr,;areas of responsibility. Chula Vista has "Area B". The County;of Sari: Diego shares some of the funding; Chula Vista contracts for some park maintenance manag1.&by the,, -City of San Diego and they send us invoices, which we in turn pay quarterly , We alsoFrely on some grant money. ® How does the impletn6ttation phase work? Does it go by zones i.e. a, b, c? There is no set methodology right now Priority wall be given to the most used areas first. A welcoming center will b'e, needed near,'the beginning of implementation. OPENED PUBLIC PUBLI COMMISSIONER DELIBERATIONS the project moving forward Commissioner Zaker: due to the City of San Diego holding off until the find out about the lease, what if the lease is not negotiated - will this jeopardize the City of San Diego options, or is it just an administrative process? It might be more of the latter. Chair Gutierrez — this project has been 30 years in the making. He's glad to see it come to fruition. Having 9,000 in the south bay for something like this is phenomenal. Thank you to staff for all the work that has been done.
