Consider Park and Recreation Outdoor Meeting Schedule

For many years, the Park and Recreation Commission has held regular meetings outdoors in the months of May through September (weather permitting). This provided the Commission an opportunity to inspect and comment on parks and projects as a group, and it afforded residents’ access to the Commission on a neighborhood level.  On the occasions of inclement weather, the Commission would hold the regular meetings at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. The purpose of this case is to confirm the Commission’s desire for outdoor meetings in 2019 and, if so, approve the locations proposed below (or different, based upon discussion).

The following is the proposed schedule—if the Commission agrees to continue meeting in parks for the summer.

May:              Ford Brook Park 

June:             Elmcrest Park   

July:              Pearson Park        

August:         The Draw     

September:  Rivers' Bend Park

Upon approval of the locations above, their locations will be published on the web site.

None required. 

Determine whether outdoor meetings are desired for 2019—and if so the locations

Motion to approve the outdoor meeting locations, based upon discussion.
