OF ROLES OF PARKS AND
RECREATION COMMITTEE
(306 x 1201)
The Council and Committee discussed the
outline of topics provided in the agenda:
passive vs. active roles and participation
in budget preparation, gifts program, long
term park planning, and the volunteer
program.
Based on the discussion the following actions were taken by Council:
1. It was moved by Councilwoman Hein, seconded by Councilwoman Bacharach,
and passed unanimously that:
Several major Parks will have their initial phases of construction
completed this year. As the City shifts its attention away
from building them to solving the complexities of running/maintain-
ing them, a formal review of current plans for future development
should be initiated.
This is particularly true in light of existing funding conditions
which may be significantly different than those underlying future
park planning.
The Parks and Recreation Committee should first work with staff to
develop an up-to -date understanding of potential Park Capital
funding sources /amounts. Based upon that understanding, the
CITY COUNCIL,
