The fully implemented plan came with a sizeable price tag. The Council encouraged Master Plan Volunteers to strategize ways to implement this plan. Parks and Recreation staff was directed to facilitate the volunteer initiative and guide the process. Volunteers were challenged to consider other community needs and financial responsibilities when making their recommendations for parks and recreation improvements and additions. Ten community members agreed to serve on the Volunteer Organizing Team to provide leadership and direction for a path to implementation for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
