Which Memorandum To: Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) From: Nathan Mosley, Director of Parks, Recreation and Open Space Date: February 12, 2020 Re: Discussion Item 10. Cottonwood Master Plan Task Force Background In 2020 the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department has money allocated to complete a conceptual master plan for the Cottonwood Park (including the former church property) and Lake Park areas. This master plan will gather input from staff, residents and city boards and commissions to create a vision for recreational enhancements and amenities that could be incorporated at the site. To make the process as efficient as possible, staff has determined that the formation of a Task Force consisting of two (2) members of each advisory board (PPLAB, Open Space Advisory Board, and Recreation Advisory Board) and approximately 3-5 at-large residents would be beneficial. This Task Force will work with staff and consultants to provide input, evaluate options and help further engage interested residents in the master plan process. Participation in the Task Force would require approximately one (1) meeting a month for a 6-8 month commitment. There could be additional meetings or public outreach events scheduled as needed. Our goal is to meet only as often as necessary to keep the project moving forward. Next Steps Staff is asking OSAB members to consider participation in the Task Force. During the February meeting we will ask for formal nominations of Task Force representatives from OSAB and a vote to confirm them. PARKS, RECREATION & OPEN SPACE DEPARTMENT 23
