Parks and Recreation Department AAMM SY &JEJAV a f i Fj Parks & Recreation Department To: Bill Malinen From: Lonnie Brokke Date: July 2e, 2010 Re: Parks and Recreation System Master Plan Thank you for your interest and enthusiasm in the implementation of the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan and for your suggestion to have a question on the 2010 ballot. As we discussed, the final draft plan is in the process of being completed for review and comment by the Citizen Advisory Team (CAT) on August 5th. The process continues with the anticipated next steps to be completed in 2010 as follows: • August 5th- present final draft plan to the CAT • September /October— review by Technical Advisory Team (TAT) • September 18th - present final draft plan to the Parks and Recreation Commission • September 27th - present final draft plan to the City Council • September - October — receive public comment on final draft plan • November — Parks and Recreation Commission final recommendation • November — City Council final adoption • October - December - conduct a statistically valid survey to compare and contrast final plan details for implementation direction • October - December — explore implementation options with community/commission to finalize resource path • 2010/2011 - communicate plan details and implementation strategies to community Over the past 11 months, the City Council, CAT, Parks and Recreation Commission, volunteers, the community and staff have been working diligently and tirelessly to engage as many citizens and businesses as possible to weigh in to the formulation of the master plan. It has been a very thorough process that has encouraged and allowed every opportunity for folks to get involved. It has been truly value based, listening and hearing from all areas of the community and compiling those results. The process should now include a statistically valid survey, to validate plan details.
