Commissioner Christian Super gave a quick rundown on the Parks Master Plan process for the public at the Sept. 17 meeting, saying that they were in the first phase of “discovery” to the end of October through the use of surveys. He continued that afterwards they would begin to analyze that feedback to the New Year to prepare to write a Master Plan draft.
Super made the motion for commissioners to view the output of Freedom of Information Act requests with Hartmann seconding. Super was curious about requests from the public and said that because they can be about topics or items before he was a commissioner, that being able to see what those requests were about would help him respond when someone brings something forward to the commission from an FOIA.
A short discussion followed with Featherstone concerned with how much time Parks staff has to fulfill requests and how much time is spent fulfilling them. Members discussed how commissioners could receive the information. The motion for commissioners to see the output of FOIA requests carried 4-0.
The final item of the downhill shuttle purchase was swift to end with commissioners moving towards purchase and financing. Minutes were once again deferred to the next meeting as commissioner Scott Bardin abstained from voting for meetings when he was not present.
