PARKS,TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE CHAPTER FOR THE 2040 COMMUNITY <br /> MANAGEMENT PLAN <br /> Edwards stated the City is currently undergoing a review of its Community Management Plan. The CMP <br /> covers a number of things, including zoning, utilities, and a chapter on the City's parks, trails and open <br /> space. Edwards noted the Park Commission has been reviewing that chapter since last fall and that they <br /> are now at the point in the process where the chapter needs to go before the bigger review committee. <br /> The CMP is scheduled to be reviewed by that group in April and that he is looking for feedback from the <br /> Park Commission on the plan. <br /> Edwards noted the comments from the Park Commission work session have been incorporated into the <br /> plan and refining the goals and priorities. In addition,the subcommittee on trails put together some <br /> priorities for the trail system, which was provided to the Park Commission via email a couple of weeks <br /> ago. <br /> Edwards stated segments of the plan did not appear on the website so a complete copy has been provided <br /> to the Park Commission this evening. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission to endorse the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Chapter to the <br /> Community Management Plan. <br /> STAFF REPORTS <br /> 4.
