THE NEXT STEPS
The Task Force identified nearly 140
steps (PDF - 92KB) to complete the Parks, Recreation &
Open Space Plan. One wonders where to
begin: what's most important, who
should work on each action, and how to
keep track of progress. We have created a
long-range Action Plan to assign responsibility
and importance to each step.
We grouped the actions by priority. The
first set, labeled Priority, consists of top
priority actions that do not cost any
money, can be implemented relatively
quickly, and have been developed to
enable subsequent actions to take place.
The other priority sets are labeled:
Essential, Very Important, Important, and
Desirable. Remember that this Action
Plan is a guide for implementing parties
and that these parties may need to
respond as other opportunities become
available.
This plan is wide ranging and we
identified a number of parties that may
work together on each of these actions.
Each action identifies a possible
coalition of parties anticipated to
appropriately resolve an issue. To help
these coalitions get established, a lead
party has been identified for each
action.
For more information about the source
of each of the actions, please consult
the subcommittee reports that are
referenced. Some of the subcommittee
recommendations have been modified
upon task force review and discussion
and do not always exactly mirror the
initial subcommittee work.
A periodic check-in of overall progress
is recommended. It is anticipated that
this plan warrants a comprehensive
review and update at appropriate
intervals. This will allow fine-tuning as
the needs of the community evolve.
