SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Requested Work Session by Recreation Commission
2003 was the last created, published and approved Parks and Recreation Master Plan. A red lined Master plan exists, but the PR&CS Staff recommends that while elements are still applicable a new Master Plan with a Strategic Plan should be created. A Master Plan is truly a community document, and while the Commission is there to shepherd the process the PR&CS staff will provide support, and direction when requested there should be a concerted effort to: A. Create a Master Plan that is in line with the City of Valdez Comprehensive Plan, B. The Master Plan follows both structure, content and proper creation processes of industry identified best practices for a Master Plan. C. Proper & concerted effort to garner community input.
It is also the recommendation of the PR&CS staff that a member of the Recreation Commission is regularly attending the CPAC meetings organized by Kimley-Horn.
