The guiding document is not a legally <br />binding plan, but rather a working framework to ensure alignment with community values and <br />established council goals. <br /> <br />Key points: <br />The document will summarize the Commission’s vision, values, and priorities. <br />It will serve as a reference tool for evaluating projects, partnerships, and proposals. <br />The intent is to maintain consistency over time while allowing flexibility as circumstances <br />change. <br />Once finalized, the document can be shared with the City Council, staff, and the public to <br />communicate the Commission’s role and direction. <br /> <br />Next steps: <br />Commissioners will review and refine the draft sections. <br />Input will be gathered from stakeholders as appropriate. <br />A final version will be adopted by the Commission and used as an ongoing reference. <br />3.Park Commission Action Requested: <br />Commissioners will review and refine the draft sections. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2
