Public input meetings, telephone <br />surveys, stakeholders interviews, and senior focus group interviews were <br />held to receive input from citizens regarding desired and necessary <br />services and facilities. This information, along with methodology and <br />trends in Parks, Recreation, and Senior Centers, was used to develop the <br />new Comprehensive Master Plan. <br />The Plan covers inventory, classifications, national <br />recommendations /standards, needs, top priorities and a capital <br />improvement plan. Additionally, population diversity and change <br />is projected, all of which will change the face of the County and the <br />services needed over the next 10 years. <br />The Master Plan is to be used as a tool for planning, directing and <br />developing facilities over the next 10 years. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to approve the 2015 Active Living and Parks Comprehensive <br />Master Plan as a tool for direction and development over the next 10 <br />years. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />F -1 Page 84 <br />
