Details
At the East District Meeting the parks and recreation director described the plan, the funding picture (a one-tenth percent sales tax for recreation, arts and parks, plus roughly 500 to 600 thousand dollars a year in development impact fees, about 2.5 million dollars a year to build and renovate parks) and roughly 200 million dollars of identified park and trail needs. Feedback runs through the rest of November, then a Council work session on results and a draft for Council review and adoption. Residents asked about the Slate Canyon retention basin area (staff said it remains parkland and is slated for master planning next fiscal year) and about a district input committee or a parks board seat.
