PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
AGENDA REPORT
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Jeremy Laurentowski, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: 3/6/2023 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Dates for Spring Park Tour
BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION
Historically, the Parks and Recreation Commission (Commission) holds a Special
Commission Meeting to tour the various City parks. The meetings are held two or three
times during the year and include five or six parks. Typically, two or three hours are
scheduled for the meetings, however, the start time and date has been selected by the
Commission based on the availability of Commission members. The meetings are
typically scheduled on a Saturday morning, or late afternoon during the week. There are
various reasons why individual parks are selected by the Commission, such as:
• General review of parks to discuss potential future improvements.
• Review of new park amenities or facilities after they have been installed.
• Review of park locations related to the City Council's Goals and Objectives.
• Review of issues and/or concerns.
The Commission and City staff held a Special Commission Meeting and toured various
parks on October 16,2022. Staff would like to schedule a Spring Park Tour, which will
be conducted as a Special Commission Meeting. The parks that were toured in October
include the following:
• Arroyo Vista Community Park
• Glenwood Park
• Miller Park
• Poindexter Park
• Tierra Rejada Park
• Virginia Colony Park
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission select a date and time,
and five or six parks to tour during the Spring 2023 Special Commission meeting and
Park Tour.
