Individual park master plans for eight city parks Summary of Community Meeting #3 Summary of Stage One work documented in a PowerPoint presentation Stage Four: Act The final stage of the work plan involves the critical step of making the plan a reality. Beyond simply drafting the master plan, taking the plan forward for review and adoption will occur during this stage of the work. Several key tasks are included in this work that help to frame the details of implementation—the strategies that become the foundation for implementing the community's vision. This stage of the work lays the groundwork for a plan that is useful and useable on an ongoing basis. But most important, we believe that for this master plan to be successful, it must be understood, used, and loved by the community—they have to want it to happen! Stage Three Tasks 4.01 Prepare an outline of the master plan that includes those elements that are included directly as a result of this master planning effort, and that highlights those elements that would be recommended as follow-through efforts (those that cannot be accomplished under this contract, or that might be better completed in concert with other planning stages of the implementation). 4.02 Meet with the PARMPUT to review the work of Stage Three, the findings of the master planning process to this point, including the reaction of the community to the master plan as shared during Community Workshop #3, and the outline of the master plan posed in Task 4.01. 4.03 Establish an implementation sequence based on priorities, opportunities, need, and other factors that might suggest logic in the planned evolution of the park system. 4.04 Develop opinions of probable cost for implementation of the major park system components described in the master plan, and for selected individual park master plans, (including cost estimates for the preparation of construction documents for the proposed improvements). Costs will be framed in 2009 dollars, or as directed by city staff based on implementation sequencing. 4.05 Recommend phasing of park improvements based on the implementation sequence, costs, and funding opportunities, focusing in particular on a series of impactful first step projects that characterize the new way of thinking about parks under this master plan. 4.06 Meet with the PARMPUT to propose capital funding priorities for improvements and acquisitions based on the previously identified tasks. 4.07 Prepare draft Parks and Recreation System Master Plan. The document would be organized much like this planning process, with the first part inspiring readers with the common vision of the community, and the second part defining the most appropriate road map for accomplishing that vision. Key decisions about the content of the document, the kinds of information that should be included in the body of the document; the format, tone, and personality of the document; and information appropriate to an appendix will be coordinated with city staff. 4.08 Meet with the PARMPUT to review the draft Parks and Recreation System Master Plan, and note the group's recommendations for changes to the document. 4.09 Conduct Community Meeting #4 to share the draft Parks and Recreation System Master Plan. We will document comments offered during the meeting for review by the PARMPUT.
