Council Items

Interested Parties (IP) Meeting and Public Input : The process to design a new master plan for Douglass Park began with the public input process for the 2013 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. Preliminary Douglass Park planning meetings that were held during this process are listed on the Comprehensive Park Master Plan project web page.

The planning for Douglass Park moved forward once the City’s Fiscal Year 2014 Capital Improvement Program was approved, and Phase 1 funding for Douglass Park was in place. An IP meeting was held October 24, 2013, 5:30-7:30pm, at Douglass High School. A web survey was conducted 10/25/13 to 11/6/13 to give citizens that were unable to attend the IP meeting an opportunity to comment on the proposed plans. Below are the survey results from the hard copy forms, the web survey, and emails from interested parties. See the link below to read the comments from the online survey and interested parties meeting.

Status: Completed.
