The Commission welcomed and thanked all members for their willingness to serve. 4. REVIEW AND AFFIRM DEPARTMENT MISSION Staff reviewed and explained the history of the current mission statement and indicated that it has served the department well over a number of years. The mission statement is regularly reviewed and affirmed by staff and this is an opportunity for the Commission to weigh in. This is an excellent time to revisit the mission and vision as we embark upon the Park and Recreation System Master Plan update which is expected to garner input from the community in numerous fashions. Commission members discussed the mission statement generally feeling that it was lengthy, should be revised, be more pointed and more intentional. It was suggested that it be revisited and discussed further as the Parks and Recreation embarks upon the Master Plan update. COMMISSION GOALS DISCUSSION Staff explained that traditionally, at this time of year, the Commission discusses and establishes goals for the upcoming Commission year (April -March). The 2008109 goal topics were reviewed and discussed. There was a good deal of discussion centering on what is a goal and what is an objective and that they should be clear and measurable. It was decided that this would be a good topic for a retreat and that the joint City Council and Commission meeting in June may help to set some priorities for which to begin. Commissioner Stark agreed to develop a spreadsheet of the goals with a tracking method that could be discussed periodically at Commission meetings. Commission members were given a homework assignment to submit possible goal topics to Brokke to compile for further discussion at the May meeting. 6. FRANK ROG AMPHITHEATRE UPDATE Staff reported on progress of the Amphitheatre project. The project is moving forward, all parts of the project have been contracted and are either in progress or will be as the weather improves to allow outside work.
