Background
In May of 2021 the City Council engaged in a Strategic Planning Session. During that time the Council established improving Parks and Community Centers as one of the top five Council Priorities.
Charge
It is my intention to re-establish the Special Committee on Parks and Quality of Life this year to convene, discuss and make recommendations on the specific projects to be addressed with the funding in the 2022-2023 Fiscal Year budget.
The committee is charged with providing a detail report that will include but is not limited to the following matters:
- Complete an evaluation on current levels of services for citywide parks, senior centers, learning facilities and community centers
- Review and address the current backlog of maintenance needs of citywide parks, senior centers, learning centers and community centers
- Provide recommendations for improvements to citywide parks, senior centers, learning facilities and community centers to address infrastructure, maintenance, and safety needs
- Complete an assessment of past and current youth and senior programming to evaluate impacts and accessibility for all citizens
- Assess status of current recreational and learning facilities and provide recommendations for improving connectivity and providing a supportive learning environment for citizens of all ages.
Deadline
The Special Committee on Parks and Quality of Life is tasked to report its findings and recommendations and any suggested legislation regarding these topics on or before January 27, 2023.
