REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Discuss and Develop Parks & Recreation Commission Work Plan Goals and Activities for FY 2026/27
Report
BACKGROUND
Annually, the Parks & Recreation Commission considers three to six specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound workplan goals and/or activities 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 limitations.
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 Commission began brainstorming and developing work plan goals and activities at its May meeting and continued those discussions at the June meeting. Implementation of the FY 2026/27 workplan goals and activities is anticipated to begin in August 2026.
DISCUSSION
At the July 13, 2026, Regular Meeting, commissioners will review and discuss the proposed goals and activities for the FY 2026/27 Work Plan. This discussion may include alternative goals and activities, commissioner assignments to subcommittees supporting each goal, and other related activities.
