The mission statement is regularly reviewed and affirmed by staff and <br />this is an opportunity for the Commission to weigh in. This is an excellent time to revisit the mission and vision <br />as we embark upon the Park and Recreation System Master Plan update which is expected to garner input from <br />the community in numerous fashions. <br /> <br />Commission members discussed the mission statement generally feeling that it was lengthy, should be revised, <br />be more pointed and more intentional. It was suggested that it be revisited and discussed further as the Parks <br />and Recreation embarks upon the Master Plan update. <br /> <br /> COMMISSION GOALS DISCUSSION <br />5. <br />Staff explained that traditionally, at this time of year, the Commission discusses and establishes goals for the <br />upcoming Commission year (April-March). The 2008/09 goal topics were reviewed and discussed. There was a <br />good deal of discussion centering on what is a goal and what is an objective and that they should be clear and <br />measurable. It was decided that this would be a good topic for a retreat and that the joint City Council and <br />Commission meeting in June may help to set some priorities for which to begin. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stark agreed to develop a spreadsheet of the goals with a tracking method that could be <br />discussed periodically at Commission meetings. Commission members were given a homework assignment to <br />submit possible goal topics to Brokke to compile for further discussion at the May meeting. <br /> <br /> FRANK ROG AMPHITHEATRE UPDATE <br />6. <br />Staff reported on progress of the Amphitheatre project. The project is moving forward, all parts of the project <br />have been contracted and are either in progress or will be as the weather improves to allow outside work.
