SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The 2017-2022 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan (Plan) has been through an
extensive review process and his hereby submitted for City Council consideration and adoption
following a Public Hearing scheduled for October 17, 2017.
As with all comprehensive plans, there is no obligation of the City to proceed with any or all of the
items because they are listed within the Plan, as this is a long-range planning document.
However, items must be identified within the Plan in order to be eligible for either state or federal
funding. No action on items shall proceed without proper funding in place and final Council
approval.
The Plan was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission on October 11, 2017 where a
recommendation for approval was rendered. A significant effort was put into conducting a City
wide public survey in 2016. The results provide important guidance in the Plan submitted for City
Council adoption.
