L <br />;l. <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • S1NC N ; <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM 11 <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />DISCUSSION —RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD OPTIONS <br />MAY 23, 2017 <br />PRESENTED BY: JOE STEVENS, PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR <br />MEREDYTH MUTH, CITY CLERK <br />HEATHER BALSER, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER <br />SUMMARY: <br />The City Council has stated its interest in sunsetting the Golf Course Advisory Board <br />and replacing it with a Recreation Advisory Board. The Council will need to identify the <br />purpose and duties for the new board. <br />Possible duties of a Recreation Advisory Board could include advising the City Council <br />and staff on: <br />Determining the community's needs and desires for recreation programs and <br />facilities related to the Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails (PROST) <br />Master Plan; <br />Facility use regulations <br />Financial policies related to cost recovery for the different program areas <br />Facility programming <br />Capital improvement planning <br />Annual budgeting and <br />Development and maintenance of recreation facilities <br />Staff would like feedback from Council regarding this list. Should all of these be <br />included; are there other types of duties this board should have? <br />Other considerations: <br />Membership — The board could be made of residents with a general interest in <br />recreation or the Council could include specific groups for representation (golf, <br />aquatics, sports leagues, seniors, etc.) Having general members allows for a <br />more diverse conversation of recreation as a whole, but having specific <br />stakeholders represented assures that the large user groups have a say on the <br />board. <br />Senior Center — Would the Recreation Advisory Board give advice on the Senior <br />Center and its programs? The existing Senior Advisory Board is focused solely <br />on fund raising and is not a city -appointed board. There are other senior groups, <br />such as the program planning group, that give feedback on programs and trips. <br />For consistency and clarity it may make sense to have this new board cover this <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />2 <br />
