She felt the forums were a big success. The speakers said that this was the largest turnout they have ever seen at a forum. Kim said she wanted only to discuss park and recreation issues. She said the citizens want to see increased, improved, and maintained trails, they want to connect the community with trails, they want bike trails, they want more open spaces, they would also like adequate parking at the parks, they want to see maintained and developed parks, they would like to see the development of an adult use recreation facility, the development of a center for parents with their children, and an area for the elderly, and to increase recreational activities and build more parks. Kim left copies of the advisory group application. She told the board members that if they would like to sign up, to be in one of these advisory groups, they would be in the group as a resident and not as a Park Board member. However, if Park Board members are needed for their expertise they will receive a written invitation to attend a group session. Kim said the advisory groups will be meeting from March until May and then go to the City Council for approval in June. She went on to say in June we will be asked to start implementing some of the recommendations that the residents come up with. She did not think this was going to be hard for us because of what we ^ have already done with the Comprehensive Park Plan. 1
