Thank you to the over 2,300 respondents who took the Parks and Recreation Survey. The top three facilities wanted in our community are: Kayak/Stand-up Paddle boarding, a Public Beach, and a Community Recreation Center. Improved maintenance of our trails and parks, more targeted programming at our Activity Center, and extended Swim Center summer season and longer hours of operation are also important. The survey results will be used to help the Parks & Recreation staff and Committee develop our Master Parks plan which ultimately will be included in the Comprehensive Plan. To view the detailed results, please visit the Parks & Recreation page.

The Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee will be at Eggstravaganza! to get feedback from the public regarding vision and goals for the city. Those that do not have time to provide input at the event will be able to contribute through a brief online survey beginning the same day and ending approximately three weeks later.

This week, the City Council created the 2020 Charter Review Committee. This committee is tasked to propose resolutions to conflicting or out-of-date provisions in the City Charter. The City council desires to have corrections to the conflicting provisions submitted to the voters as soon as possible which could be May 2020. In May 2019, Council members, including the newly elected, will appoint members to this committee so the work can commence. If you are interested in being considered, please click the link below to go to our volunteer form.
