REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Review and Finalize Parks & Recreation Commission Work Plan Goals and Activities for FY 2026/27
Report
BACKGROUND
Annually, the Parks & Recreation Commission has considered three to six specific measurable workplan goals for the Fiscal Year (FY). These goals are intended to focus the Commission's efforts and support City Council priorities within existing budget direction and resource allocation.
The City aims to align the Boards, Commissions, and Committees (BCC) workplan goals with the City Council goals on an annual cycle. The process is intended to provide:
Clear Prioritization
Each board and commission will have a defined set of objectives, making it easier for the City Council to assess progress and allocate staff resources efficiently.
Enhanced Transparency
Workplans will provide greater visibility into the activities and goals of advisory bodies, fostering stronger communication and accountability.
Improved Coordination
By aligning the efforts of staff and the BCC, the workplan is intended to effectively promote enhanced collaboration on citywide initiatives.
Informed Decision-Making
With a clear roadmap of each group's priorities, the City Council will be better equipped to make decisions that support both short-term needs and long-term strategic goals.
The timeline for this initiative includes beginning the development of goals and objectives at the May meeting, with finalization occurring in July or earlier. Implementation of the new workplan goals and objectives is anticipated to begin in July 2026.
At the July 13, 2026, Parks & Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission discussed and brainstormed possible work plan goals for FY 2026/27. Staff agreed to bring the proposed work plan goals back to the Commission for final review approval.
