The majority of project ideas relate to City Planning. <br />Recently, Community Partner Project funding has become available. A pre -application <br />was submitted. An application will be submitted for a Healthy Hugo Initiative. Funding <br />would be used for community meetings, marketing, signage and possibly a website. The <br />Healthy Hugo Initiative would center on promoting walkability and other health-related <br />items in the City of Hugo Comprehensive Pan. This would be done through community <br />events such was the bike ride and community health talks, etc. <br />NEXT STEPS: <br />The Sub -Committee is meeting monthly to plan the family bike ride and would like to <br />hold it the last weekend in October or the first weekend in September of 2011. They will <br />plan marketing, contact potential partners, set a budget, find funding/ sponsorships and <br />coordinate entertainment and games. <br />The application for Community Partner Project funding will be submitted by October 29, <br />2010 pending approval by the City Council at their meeting of October 18, 2010. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Parks Commission continue to have representation on the <br />Health Sub -Committee.
