Agenda Item: 1.B.
MEMO TO:
Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM:
CREIGHTON WRIGHT, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION
SUBJECT:
6:40 p.m., Parks, Recreation and Forestry Advisory Board Sub-committee Presentation
BACKGROUND
According to Resolution #29, series 2005, the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Advisory Board (PARFAB) “shall review and make recommendations to the Parks and Recreation Director concerning the Department’s recreational and aquatics programs, policies, procedures, park and master plan development, park rules, and long-range plans.” When this resolution was approved, it transitioned from having an independent Tree Commission to joining those responsibilities with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to creating the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Advisory Board (PARFAB). This memo addresses the need for focused subcommittees that support parks and recreation program areas and vet issues and concerns for PARFAB guidance when necessary.
The PARFAB is critical in providing resident comments, feedback, and guidance to the parks and recreation director regarding the department’s operations. As such, there has been a need and interest in forming a Forestry Subcommittee of the PARFAB to focus on developing the urban forestry program, taking on the responsibility from the former Tree Commission. A Forestry Subcommittee has been forming for the last six months and is now becoming more formal.
We are beginning to see the need for a similar group in the Recreation Center to provide regular users with the ability to provide staff feedback and guidance on operational issues. Purpose statements for each proposed group are attached.
The Subcommittees will function independently to provide operational feedback directly to staff but will be subordinate to PARFAB on more significant planning, policy, programmatic, or project issues. Each subcommittee has a staff and one or two PARFAB liaisons
