Recreation Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />June 23, 2025 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />Dan: there is a disconnect between what we presented to Council and what they <br />expect. How can we better engage with them? <br />Diana: other Boards have prepared memos with specific questions to Council <br />asking for feedback or to offer specific advice/recommendations. Should we <br />consider inviting all Advisory Board Chairs to meet with City Council periodically <br />throughout the year so you can hear what other Boards are proposing? What are <br />the RAB's ideas? <br />Lisa: the City Council format was too formal this year and less interactive. We <br />would like to make better use of their and the RAB's time. Last year we got more <br />questions from City Council. We have not received feedback on our past memos. <br />Diana: City Council will review the RAB's current memo on next year's budget. <br />Lisa: we would like more opportunity to meet with City Council as Board Chairs. <br />Dan: City Council needs to be more transparent about what RAB related projects <br />or topics are important to them. <br />Kathy: other Boards more frequently engage City Council on very specific topics <br />and questions (e.g., milkweed in Open Space). <br />Diana: beyond memos, the RAB can also send City Council surveys to engage <br />their interest and/or feedback. More frequent engagement will help educate <br />Council on the RAB's interests and priorities beyond formal budget proposals. <br />Discussion Items for Next Meeting on July 28 <br />Comp Plan Updates <br />PROST Plan Updates <br />Board Updates and Feedback <br />Brandi Cummings to Attend? <br />Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 8 pm.
