The Parks and Recreation Commission is a group of five community volunteers appointed by the City Council to advise them on matters relating to city parks and recreation facilities and services. Following the course of annual Commission goals, Commissioners work in committees to discuss regular topics such as the Aquatics Program, Sports and Fitness Center, Youth Sports, Parks and Facilities, or any other special issues, and bring recommendations to the entire Commission for consideration. The annual capital improvement program for parks and recreation projects is reviewed and prioritized by the Commission. The Recreation Service Manager is the city staff liaison to the Commission, with staff support and information provided by both the Recreation Department and the Public Works Department, which is responsible for maintenance of city facilities. Lastly, the Parks and Recreation Commission meets with the public in open hearings to resolve issues and formulate recommendations for the City Council's consideration. Accomplishments include the design of the new Roberts Lake Dog Park, the establishment of an Adopt-A-Park Program, and review of the design of playground renovation projects at four local parks. Meetings: *Third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chamber. (Regular meetings are televised live on Channel 26.)
*January and February meetings are held on the fourth Monday of the month due to City observed holidays.Staff Contact: Guy Miller, Recreation Services Manager, (707) 588-3499
