� <br /> � <br /> To: Ma.yor and City Council ofCenterv�le <br /> From: Centerville Park and Recreation Committee <br /> Date: April 5, 2001 <br /> Re: Draft Goai Directi�es Proposal <br /> The Centerville Park and Reereation Committee would like to thar�k Mayor Swedberg for <br /> taking the initiative to put a draft of goals together. The members of the Park and <br /> Recreation Committee feel goal planning is an essential part of long-term success of <br /> Centerville parks and recreation programs. � <br /> The Park and Recreation Com�mittee wanted to address a couple of issues with this <br /> method of communication. First, the committee feels we should have ha.d an opportunity <br /> to give feedback to the Goa1 Directive Proposal before it was sent out to the public. The � <br /> Committee is always open to suggestions; however, the Goal Directive Proposal seemed ', <br /> to take it one step further by laying out very specific objectives and notifying the pu�lic � <br /> of those objectives before �'azk a.tld Recreation had an opportunity to provide feedback. '� <br /> Seeond, the Park and Recreation Committee has spent many hours coordinating and �, <br /> discussing the trails plans within the City of Ce�sterville naw we understand there is going ' <br /> to be a public hearin.g/open house at the Council Meeting regarding trail plans. If a public � <br /> heariz�g/open house is warranted and the issue deals specifically with a park and i <br /> recreation issue, the pubIic hearing shoutd be put on by the Park and Recreation i <br /> Committee. The information from the public hearing would then be communicated to i <br /> Ciiy Council. The Committee's understanding''of its responsibilities is ta research and �, <br /> recommend ideas to Couucil relating to improving Centerville's parks and recreation ! <br /> programis to help reduce the amount of tims Council needs to spe�d researching and �, <br /> aiscussing specific issues or ideas. ' <br /> It is the general consensus of the Park and Recreation Committee that the goals of <br /> providing a.ctivrties for a variety of age groups within Centervilte is beneficial to the <br /> community. In addition for summer of 2001, Park and Recrea.tion is planning programs <br /> with the YMCA and Wazgo Nature Center. The committee will �ontinue to make <br /> suggestions to City Councii on other ideas or programs as they are discussed in our <br /> ' meetings. We look forwazd to refuring the goals and workmg whatever issues la.y ahead. <br /> ' <br /> � <br />
