When the <br />plan was adopted, Council Members applauded <br />the work of the volunteers and recognized the <br />significant level of community engagement used to <br />develop the plan. The fully implemented plan <br />came with a sizeable price tag. The Council <br />encouraged Master Plan Volunteers to strategize ways to implement this plan. Parks and <br />Recreation staff was directed to facilitate the volunteer initiative and guide the process. <br />Volunteers were challenged to consider other community needs and financial responsibilities <br />when making their recommendations for parks and recreation improvements and additions. <br />Ten community members agreed to serve on the Volunteer Organizing Team to provide <br />leadership and direction for a path to implementation for the Parks and Recreation <br />Master Plan. <br />The Volunteer Organizing Team established goals to guide the implementation process; <br />Communicate the message of the Master Plan in order to educate t <br /> <br />€ <br />create a network of involved and engaged citizens, <br />Engage community in discussions of priorities and willingness to support the <br /> <br />€ <br />implementation process, <br />Identify priorities and time frame for initiatives and projects, <br /> <br />€ <br />Create a multi-faceted funding plan. <br /> <br />€ <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
