Discussion:
Many of Council's priorities for 2018 include parks, trails, open space and recreation activity. Based on data already gathered from the community as part of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, parks and trails are at the top of many residents list of items for improvement and change. Staff will be issuing a request for proposals for a consultant to review at every level all of our recreation and park building facilities, trails, park land, future locations, open space, programming, revenues, expenses and long term viability including capital improvements.
The Steering Committee was designed to represent the various users and commissions and advisory boards that oversee the community's assets while also including businesses and residents at large.
The first task of the Committee will be to review RFP responses and assist in making a recommendation to the Council.
The Committee will be staffed by the Planning and Development Department with assistance from Parks and Rec.
