2) 2025 Santa Comes to Clarkdale: The commission approved the recommended event plan for 2025, including a proposed location at Towne Park, an expanded craft station and photos with Santa (families use their own cameras or staff can photograph and email photos on request). Commissioner Kramer moved to approve the plan and Commissioner Jones seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Staff noted parking constraints at Selma Mungini Park and recommended Towne Park for smoother circulation.
3) Park‑hours public outreach plan: The commission voted unanimously to approve a 30‑day bilingual survey and outreach strategy to solicit resident input on park hours, with a staff target of 350 responses to achieve a 95% confidence level.
