<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />-2- <br /> <br />Currently our Commission is in a very critical period <br />because of rapid city development. With our area being <br />predicted as the fastest growing in the State over the next 25 <br />years, the guidance that we give you and the decisions that you <br />make in the next few years are going to set the course for our <br />Parks and Trails System for the foreseeable future. To aid in <br />this process, I am continuing to work with Staff to prepare an <br />amendment to the Master Park Plan that will put more detail to <br />our plan regarding size, location and function of Parks and <br />Trails in the rapidly developing sewer and water district. A <br />working draft of this proposal will be ready for our November <br />meeting. <br /> <br />If reappointed, my goals as a Commission member are to work <br />hard to continue the progress we are making toward establishing <br />a Parks and Trails System that will suit the needs of the more <br />densely populated city that we are rapidly becoming. The area <br />of highest priority for me, for which the need was identified in <br />our citizen survey and is the single issue I most often hear <br />from people, is the development of a paved trail system for safe <br />pursuit of linear recreation needs for all ages. <br /> <br />I have put a lot of energy and time into the Park and <br />Recreation Commission and the parks themselves and find it a <br />challenging, but rewarding, experience. Thank you for your <br />consideration. <br /> <br /> <br />Dave Anderson <br />
