Parks and planning commissions to review Millside Park master-plan survey after 384 responses
Summary
City staff reported receipt of 384 responses to the Millside Park master-plan survey and said the parks commission and planning commission will meet to review community priorities; paper surveys were distributed via elementary schools to broaden participation.
City staff told the Myrtle Creek City Council on June 2 that 384 responses were received for the Millside Park master-plan survey and that the parks commission will meet with the planning commission to review survey results and community preferences.
A staff member said the city posted the survey on the municipal Facebook page and website and that the parks-commission chair, Angel Smith, distributed paper surveys to elementary schools so students could take them home; the staff member said the paper distribution reached “about 1,000” students and that a mix of paper and online responses was returned. “We got a lot of responses,” the staff member said.
Councilors scheduled the commissions to review the survey results at the next parks-commission meeting so the city can incorporate community input into the Millside Park 10-year master plan. The staff comment emphasized that the upcoming joint meeting will focus on what the community expressed as priorities for recreational improvements.
What happens next: the parks commission will present the survey findings at the next scheduled commission meeting and work with the planning commission to draft recommendations for council review.
