Council directs staff to start athletics page with city-park offerings, with plan to expand to full directory
Summary
Council asked communications to begin by listing athletics offered at city parks (Option 2) and to work toward a broader community directory (Option 3) over time; staff will propose verification criteria and an annual update process.
Council and staff reviewed three website options for presenting youth and adult athletics: (1) tailored pages focused on programs the city directly offers or funds; (2) a directory limited to athletics offered in city parks; and (3) a comprehensive community resource listing all local providers and varsity programs. Several members favored starting with Option 2 as a manageable first step and expanding to Option 3 later after establishing verification and maintenance routines.
Councilmember discussion focused on usability and maintenance burdens: some members warned a large directory could produce many stale links; others said a clear submission and verification process would mitigate that risk. Staff suggested an MOU or provider sign-up criterion and an annual verification to remove inactive providers. The body directed communications to begin with city-parks listings and to return with a plan to expand to a comprehensive, filterable directory if feasible.
