Summary
The Parks and Arts Commission voted unanimously April 6 to recommend the city council adopt a finalized 200+ page Parks and Recreation Master Plan, forwarding a 14‑page executive summary (the staff said only formatting tweaks remained). The plan will also support a Pavilion Park playground grant application.
The City of Liberty Lake Parks and Arts Commission voted unanimously April 6 to recommend the city council adopt the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and to forward the plan to council for the ordinance/adoption process.
"This is the final document," Jen Camp told commissioners, describing the executive summary as a 14‑page high‑level overview of the full 200‑plus page plan and saying there were only minor format and typographic edits since the draft. Camp said the plan is needed to support grant work for the Pavilion Park playground.
Chair Nancy Hill asked for a motion to move the plan forward; after a motion and second, commissioners voted in favor with no recorded opposition. Hill said the commission will present the plan to council "late April or early May" and described the council adoption path as likely requiring three meetings (first and second reads of an ordinance) before final adoption.
Commission discussion at the meeting focused on the executive summary’s purpose — providing a public‑facing synopsis of the full plan — and on next steps tied to grant timelines. Camp said she would supply more detailed materials on request and could print the full document for commissioners who want it.
The commission’s action now hands the plan to the city council; staff expect the council consideration to include at least one presentation and the standard ordinance readings. No dissenting votes were recorded at the commission meeting.
