The goal of the project is to create a 10 year <br />strategy that is consistent with the City’s vision, mission, and goals. Upon completion, the City <br />will have a plan that establishes the foundation for recreation programs, trail and sidewalk <br />development, and Brightwood Hills Golf Course operations. The planning process will also <br />include the development of a comprehensive, community-wide youth services strategy and a <br />public art strategy. The intent of the youth services strategy is to increase cooperation and reduce <br />duplication of service delivery in an environment that fosters youth involvement and civic <br />engagement. For public art, the goal is to create a framework for the inclusion of art and how it <br />can be an integral part of a community. The Northwest Quadrant has been identified as the City’s <br />first opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of public art and how it can be integrated into parks, <br />public space, and design. The project is divided into two phases. Phase one is to gather <br />information, solicit community input, and analyze demographic and recreation trends. Phase two <br />is the document creation period. It is the planning team’s goal to have a draft document by <br />January 2006, with the entire project completed by June. <br /> <br />Greg Ingraham, from Ingraham and Associates, presented the Strategic Planning process and <br />some of the results that they have received from Brightwood Golf Course. Jack Becker, <br />Forecast Public Artworks, gave the Commission an overview of public art in the surrounding <br />areas. Ingraham and Becker answered questions from the Commissioners. Mary Burg stated that <br />the Council is committed to include art in all up coming projects. <br /> <br />Announcements and Updates: <br />No announcements or updates. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br /> <br /> <br /> __________________________ <br /> <br />Patrick Boylan, City Planner <br /> <br /> <br />I:\COMMISSIONS\PLANNING\Minutes\2005\09-20-05.doc <br />
