Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The biggest change discussed was a new process for vendors and concessionaires who want to operate in parks or City facilities. Instead of informal arrangements, vendors would need reservations, insurance, licensing, and agreement to park rules, with different rules for commercial and non-commercial use. Staff also gave updates on several park projects. The Sports Park lighting upgrade is expected to lower utility costs, and other improvements are moving ahead at Panorama Park, South City Park, and the Recreation Center. Staff said recreation participation and marketing results have been strong, but some programs are seeing slower sign-ups and more feedback about pricing.
