Memorandum Date: December 28, 2023 To: Honorable Chair and Committee Members Parks & Recreation Committee From: Mark Statz, PE Î City Administrator/Engineer Subject: 2024 Strategic Plan In the early part of 2024, the City Council is planning a retreat to outline their Strategic Plan for the year. Among other things, the council will be examining long range budget forecasting, Capital Improvement Plans and other important planning documents. Although the plan will be called the 2024 Strategic Plan, it will certainly be designed to lead us beyond the one-year horizon. Staff is encouraging the Parks and Recreation Committee to support the City CouncilÓs efforts by reviewing the committeeÓs long-range facility plans. WeÓve attached your most recent iteration of the Capital Equipment Replacement schedule and the Park Dedication Fund Capital Improvement Plan. We will review how these two plans are funded and examine how that may influence our decisions. Before diving into the details of each Capital Plan, it may be worthwhile to revisit some overarching goals and the documents which outline them. Attached to this memo, youÓll see the ÐGoals and PoliciesÑ related to Parks and Trails from the CityÓs Comprehensive Plan; a document this committee helped formulate in 2017-2018. Since the Comprehensive PlanÓs adoption in 2018, here are a few things youÓve helped accomplish to further the vision outlined in the Comprehensive Plan: Capital Improvements: Added parking to Acorn Creek Park Added benches to Eagle Park and Trailside Park Added hydration stations to LaMotte Park and Acorn Creek Park Added bike repair station to LaMotte Park Added pickle ball striping to tennis court in Eagle Park Added Gaga Ball Pit to LaMotte Park Added trail and sidewalk segments connecting the new development (Old Mill Estates) to Acorn Creek Park st Added trail and sidewalk segments on Main Street, 21 Ave. & Michaud Way, connecting the community to an emerging commercial area
