Poulsbo parks commission adopts two‑year planning approach and sets Jan. 11 retreat
Summary
Commissioners agreed to move to a two‑year goals timeline, discussed five standing goals (staff collaboration, active‑adult programming, resiliency, volunteer matching and market analysis), and tentatively scheduled a four‑hour retreat for Saturday, Jan. 11 to finalize priorities.
Staff proposed shifting to two‑year planning and asked commissioners to re‑engage with five standing goals; the list was read aloud and commissioners provided updates on progress, task‑force assignments and outstanding work.
Commissioners agreed on the value of a retreat to dive into priorities and training; staff proposed a four‑hour session and commissioners tentatively set a retreat for Saturday, January 11, with a 10 a.m.–2 p.m. window under discussion. The retreat will be public and staff will circulate logistics and a proposed agenda.
Why it matters: moving to a two‑year planning horizon and holding a dedicated retreat is intended to give commissioners time for deeper policy discussion, prepare an impact or annual report for council, and align commission goals with staff work plans ahead of the budget cycle.
