Slinger board sets March meeting with consultant as open-space plan advances toward July approval
Summary
The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Board heard that consultant Vandewalle will attend the board's March meeting as staff advance a five-year open space plan on a timeline targeting approval in July 2026.
Tony Dobson, Parks, Recreation & Forestry Director, told the board that staff held an initial meeting with consultant Vandewalle to begin updating the Village's five-year open space plan and that Vandewalle representatives will attend the board's March meeting to discuss the draft timeline and public engagement process.
Dobson said the preliminary schedule aims to complete work and bring the plan to the board for approval in July 2026. He asked board members to review draft survey questions that staff will distribute widely to Village residents to gather input on park and open-space priorities.
Board members were asked to email suggested changes to the proposed survey questions within a week so staff can incorporate additional topics before the survey is released. No formal motion or vote on the plan timeline occurred at the meeting; staff characterized the March session as a planned public-facing step in the consultant process.
The next procedural step is Vandewalle's presentation to the board in March, followed by public outreach via the planned survey and subsequent staff revisions leading to a July decision.
