<br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />August 9, 2006 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Park System Master Plan Update <br /> <br />ITEM: <br />2007 Park System Master Plan <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The park system master plan has not been updated since 1997. During the joint City <br />Council/Park Commission, meeting in April it was agreed upon that updating this plan <br />should be a priority in 2007. In addition to the master plan update, staff believes that <br />individual park master plans should be reviewed to insure that they will meet the needs of a <br />growing population. Specifically, these plans should be examined to see if they are ambitious <br />enough as far as the level of development and infrastructure. <br /> <br />It is proposed that capital spending in 2007 be relatively modest with a focus put on citizen <br />input and long range planning. That being said, flexibility must be maintained should unique <br />opportunities for land acquisition present themselves. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Give staff direction as to whether the Commission agrees with this course of action. <br />
