OLD BUSINESS
A) Joint City/Borough Parks & Rec Presentation
Daniel Mckenna-Foster stated this is a presentation we put together a while back about the Plan
Update. He talked about the plan, Corey Gronn gave him a lot of good user data that shows how
different facilities are being used. If we do go ahead with the Parks & Rec Plan Update, he was
thinking there would be four phases; Needs Assessment, Community Vision, Strategy &
Development, Plan Approval & Implementation. Formulating the community vision takes a lot of
work because it's a lot of community outreach events, activities, and getting people to give ideas
of how they use things. He talked about information he had found in the department files, and the
different processes of updating the plan.
Discussion of merging the two committees into a joint committee, update to the plan progress,
holding joint meetings for a while, how the city P&R committee operates, applying for grants,
writing a letter to the Assembly, the P&R Comp Plan Update being a joint effort with City P&R,
Capital Projects, the committee being the platform for the community input on recreational needs.

Several discussions at one time.
