Commission delays action on strategic implementation plan recommendations until full commission sits in August
Summary
The Beaches, Parks and Recreation Commission voted to move consideration of the strategic implementation plan (SIP) subcommittee findings to the August meeting so a full commission could review recommendations tied to the general plan.
The Beaches, Parks and Recreation Commission deferred action June 10 on the strategic implementation plan (SIP) subcommittee’s findings and recommendations, voting to consider the item at the commission’s August meeting when a full panel of commissioners will be present.
Why it matters: The SIP recommendations identify items drawn from the city’s draft strategic implementation plan that relate to the parks, beaches and recreation element of the general plan. Because general-plan elements are state-mandated in California and guide long-term land-use and recreational strategy, the commission said it wanted the full membership to review and prioritize the list before forwarding recommendations to the planning commission.
Staff summary and commission discussion
A subcommittee representative summarized that the group had cross-checked the planning department’s draft strategic implementation plan and pulled items relevant to parks and recreation, including coastal and beach items that will be added to the commission’s scope. The subcommittee used a work-letter methodology to select priorities and recommended a narrowed list to send to the planning commission.
Commission members raised two concerns: first, that only four commissioners would remain at the end of the meeting (due to membership transitions), and second, that the SIP and commission annual work plan should be reconciled so the agenda item receives proper review. One commissioner said, “It would be my recommendation that we move this to the August meeting when the full committee of nine has the opportunity to review it.”
Action taken
A motion to move the SIP subcommittee findings and recommendations to the August meeting passed by voice vote; commissioners recorded affirmative votes and the motion was carried.
Next steps
The item will return to the commission in August with the expectation that the full, newly constituted commission will review the subcommittee’s recommended implementation items and identify any work-plan priorities to forward to the planning commission and city council.
