Commission highlights parks master plan and a $300,000 grant for park work
Summary
Staff said developing a parks master plan and a capital improvement plan are next steps after the comprehensive plan; the commission noted a recently awarded $300,000 grant and discussed collecting formal park usage data to support future applications.
Commissioners and staff emphasized parks as an implementation priority and said a master park plan would help identify funding opportunities and capital needs. Chair said the master park plan and capital improvement plan are separate but linked tasks that will help the city become more competitive for grants.
Chair noted that public works recently collected informal park-use counts and that the city has been awarded a $300,000 grant to support park planning. The chair said the capital improvement plan and master park plan will be developed after the plan is finalized and that those tools will help sequence and fund projects. Staff presented these next steps as concrete follow-ups to the comprehensive plan rather than immediate policy changes.
