STAFF REPORT TO:Parks & Recreation Commission FROM:Bryce Shearen, CPRP, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Director DATE:March 3, 2022 RE:Rondeau Park Community Build Subcommittee ACTION REQUESTED None. Volunteer for the community build subcommittee if interested. BACKGROUND In 2019, the City had a well attended and extremely successful community build of the Spooner Park playground. One of the reasons for the success was the planning that went into the community build which started months prior. To assist and support staff in the planning, organization, marketing, and implementation strategy, a small subcommittee was formed with staff and Parks & Recreation Commissioners. With a new playground at Rondeau Park scheduled for this summer, there has been overwhelming support to do another community build and the project was quoted with that option. It is estimated that we will need 50-75 people from the community to make this a successful event. The estimated time expectation of the community build subcommittee would be one or two one- hour meetings a month over the next four months (4-6 meetings total). That will allow sufficient time to create and implement a plan. Staff can provide assistance, but the subcommittee of Commissioner can meet independent of staff support and report back. Meetings can be conducted virtually or in-person and space would be available at the City Center but meeting outside of the City Center would be acceptable as well. Meeting times and places would be at the discretion of the subcommittee. Staff is looking for two or three volunteers from the Commission for a subcommittee that would like to help with creating another successful community build event. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends two or three Commissioners to volunteer to form a subcommittee to assist staff with the Rondeau Park community build event if interested.
