Commissioners urged to schedule longer parks master-plan work session; survey deadline set

A commissioner told the board a consultant for the county parks and recreation master plan has requested a longer, roughly two-hour work session with the BOCC to shape the next steps of the project and said the board’s input is important to set the plan’s direction. Commissioners discussed whether the meeting could be shorter or split across sessions but agreed the BOCC’s full participation is important.

The commissioner noted the consultant distributed a brief survey to the BOCC and requested responses by Sept. 20 (the consultant’s stated deadline) so the consultant has local input before the larger work session. The BOCC agreed staff should confirm availability and lock down a date that allows all three commissioners to participate.
