8. Discussion and Action on All Matters Related to the Master Plan Update Including the Adoption of a Master Plan Philosophy.

Ginn stated that at the work session he plans to present an outline of the capital projects that will be needed in ten years. He noted that his projections will be based on historical data and will include cost estimates. He noted that the challenge is to determine when to do the projects based on cash flow or whether to borrow money. He cautioned that projects should not be delayed until they are needed as time is needed for design and construction.
