This Park System Plan—Ramsey's first comprehensive planning document dedicated to parks, trails and related <br />open space will attempt to be aspirational and visionary, yet realistic. It will catalog where we are and what we <br />have, while describing where we are going and what we can achieve. <br />Chapter 1, Introduction & Where We Are highlights very briefly where we've come from, and sets up the <br />context for this plan, However, greater detail will be revealed in the chapter that explores `Recreation Districts' at <br />the larger neighborhood scale —as well as painting a picture of what can be. <br />Chapter 2, Vision & Essential Elements will describe basic or foundational elements of the park and trail system <br />and their value and interrelationships. <br />Chapter 3, Recreation Programming & Partnerships is a key portion of the Park System Plan, exploring <br />recreation programming theory, its value to the community and most importantly, the partnerships that allow these <br />government services to be efficient, effective, and yielding a continued return on investments. <br />Chapter 4, Recreation Districts & Neighborhoods as signaled, comprises much of this plan —describing the <br />existing infrastructure and recommended future improvements at a both a neighborhood level and also how these <br />neighborhoods interact to bring a community of recreational opportunities together without redundancy but with <br />connectivity. <br />Chapter 5, Implementation & the Future explores how we move towards capitalizing on the vision and <br />prospects, and how we pay for it, while taking care of existing investments. <br />Funding Source: <br />This topic does not not authorize funding per se, however the resultant recreation and programming policy will <br />guide price setting and theory in recreation services, to include strategies relating to the revenue side of recreation <br />and enrichment programming for 2020 and beyond. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff requests feedback on the draft chapter's content (first attachment) and any other input Commissioners may <br />have. <br />Action: <br />Consensus input on Draft Park System Plan, Chapter 3, Sections 1 -3. <br />Attachments <br />Rec Sections 1 - 3, Chapter 3 <br />2018 Citizen Survery results <br />Citizen Survey trends <br />Strategic Plan <br />Inventory <br />Summary Survey <br />Rec Program Update <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Grant Riemer Katie Schmidt 01/03/2020 12:40 PM <br />
