Commission schedules June —Shark Tank— for community project pitches
Summary
The commission set a June Shark Tank-style event for citizen and commission pitches; organizers plan 2-hour format, ask participants to prepare brief proposals and will use outcomes to inform budget requests to Parks & Rec.
Chair Sarah Chapman told commissioners the commission will hold a Shark Tank-style pitching session in June and encouraged members and citizens to prepare short proposals: "Our Shark Tank is set for June," she said, adding presentations were intended to help the commission prioritize volunteer time and limited budget.
Chapman said the commission will ask proposers to use a supplemental proposal form to outline costs and deliverables and suggested a 2-hour meeting format to give pitches time to breathe. Staff liaison Sarah Forsyth confirmed the timing aligns with the commission's budget calendar so commissioners can present budget requests to Parks & Recreation in July and August if needed.
