Parks, Arts, Recreation, Culture, and Conservation (PARCC) Plan Projects Update
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Development of the PARCC Plan includes three main pillars: the community need assessment; analysis of current system performance; and the development of future project lists. Council has received information about the community outreach results that support our community needs assessment, as well as an evaluation of the current system performance at previous study sessions. This session will give an overview of how this analysis has led to recommended future Parks Department projects.
