Commission and Staff
FROM: Ralph Richard, Manager
DATE: May 13, 1994
Enclosed is information on our May 18 planning session. It has
been seven years since we have looked at the big picture of the future
of the parks and recreation department. I hope with the process and
the attached information we can get some clear, unified direction for the
department to take.
Our facilitator for the day will be Dr. Evan Peelle, who over the
past five months has been working with us on our Excellence Network
Program. She will lead us through a systematic, yet quick method, of
looking into the future for the parks.
