IMPLEMENTATION <br />This master plan guides the City of Hugo in developing a park system that meets the <br />needs and desires of its residents. <br />Park and Recreation Commission <br />Many city parks and trails will be designed and developed as Hugo continues to grow. <br />The City has established a Park and Recreation Commission that serves as advisors to <br />the City Council. The Commission has a good understanding of the park master plan <br />and the City's subdivision regulations and zoning ordinances. The Commission works <br />with residents, organizations, and developers to ensure that Hugo's park and recreation <br />needs are met. <br />Maintenance and Staffing <br />As Hugo's park system develops, the City will need to be diligent in maintaining the <br />system. A poorly maintained park and trail system can be more of a liability than an <br />asset. Park and trail designs should be prepared with maintenance concerns in mind. <br />Also as Hugo's park system develops, the City will need to hire additional staff to help <br />oversee and maintain its park system. Seasonal and part-time staff may contribute to <br />park staffing. <br />Chapter 7 7-39 <br />Parks, Trails, & Open Spaces <br />tiaio' <br />
