PARKS REPORT <br />“This design has the potential <br />for many interesting loops <br />and turns... a walker could <br />easily get the sense that the <br />park is bigger than it is.” <br />- Comment on Social Pinpoint <br />Commissioners: <br /> Dave Strub, Chair <br /> Cathy Moore-Arcand, Vice Chair <br /> Nicole Schmid <br /> Roger Clarke <br /> Mat Rauschendorfer <br /> Ranell Tennyson <br /> Shawn Haag <br />Planning Open House on June 26, 2018 <br />Clearwater Creek Preserve <br />Clearwater Creek Preserve is a unique 100+ acre passive park. The 1/2 mile <br />wood chip trail fell in disrepair due to several exceptionally rainy years and the <br />drainage issues in and around the park. As part of the their annual goals, the <br />Parks Commission set out to master plan the park in 2018. <br />SHIP Grant Received <br />A $15,000 grant was received from Washington County through the Statewide <br />Health Improvement Program for active living enhancement. The funding was <br />used to evaluate the wetlands, gather input from the community, and develop a <br />master plan document. <br />Community Engaged in Master Planning <br />With the grant funding, additional outreach to the community was possible. The <br />Open House held on June 26, 2018 was well attended. Residents were highly <br />engaged on an online forum called Social Pinpoint which allowed them to “pin” <br />comments on the plans. Three concept plans were presented at the August 15 <br />Parks Commission meeting for public review. A preferred master plan was pre- <br />sented at the September 19 meeting and recommended for approval. The City <br />Council approved the Clearwater Creek Preserve Master Plan at their October 15 <br />meeting. <br />ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PARKS, RECREATION, AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION 2018
