The city has a bountiful pazks and recreation system. It also has the highest number o£per capita recreation ceaters, for a ciry our size, in the country.
As we look to the tuture and consider our ability m pay for tUat system, it makes sense to evaluate the way our system is designed and how we
de5ver services. We should recognize, for example, that all recreation ceaters are not regional recreation ceuters. And, wLen we commit to a
recreation center, we should be prepared to adequately staff and maintain it. In order to assist us in this evaluation and possible reshucmring of our
parks and recreation system, we expect to conduct an assessment tlils yeaz wluch will help us and the communiry w decide how to pmvide
a� finance pazks and recreation services in Ehe future.
