Maintenance Initiatives: Reset backstops and re-graded areas at two softball fields in LaMotte Park Major part replacements on play structures in McBride Park Planting replacements at Cornerstone Park Worked with the Lions Club to restore the park monument sign for McBride Park Developed Adopt-a-Garden Program As we reflect on the Goals and Policies put forward in 2018 it may be prudent to think of what might have changed or emerged as a new topic since then. A few suggested discussion points might be: Broader Goals o Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) o Environmental Projects o Maintenance Practices o Community Outreach o Determine Financial Needs to Support CIPs Existing Facilities o Replacement schedule for park equipment/facilities o Upgrades to equipment/facilities New Facilities o Missing recreation opportunities o Property acquisition for expansion or new parks Partnerships o Grants o Support of external projects The above list is simply meant to help the committee brainstorm and engage in some strategic discussions. ItÓs important to remember that most of these items will take several years, if not a decade or better to plan, fund and execute. I will be on hand at your January meeting to lead us through a discussion of these items. At the conclusion of our discussion we hope to have some general guidance for staff to be able to take back and better refine your Goals and Policies so that we might bring those forward to the City Council for consideration at their Retreat. Additionally, we will seek preliminary direction on revisions to the Capital Plans in terms of timing and what items should be added or subtracted from the lists. After the City CouncilÓs retreat, we will share their strategic vision with you and ask you to make final edits to your Goals and Policies and Capital Plans.
