Comprehensive Plan - Mr. Wilson introduced Mr. Jeff Pruitt of the City's Plan-
ning Division who has been keeping the Board apprised of the Parks and Recreation
Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Pruitt stated that the Parks and Recreation
Board is the official advisory board for the element and he opened up discussion on
a "draft" of the Parks and Recreation Element. Members went through the draft page
by page asking various questions. Mr. Pruitt explained the many charts and maps
included in the draft and described the various standards relating to parkland,
recreation facilities, etc. Considerable discussion ensued and it was decided
that members would continue to study the draft for further discussion at the
September Board meeting. Mr. Pruitt stated 'that it was bis intention to begin
review ,of the Elemp~t with the City Commission around January of 1989. Other
portions of the E~emel.~ still to be received are the policies which will be at
the beginning ~~d the ~'plementation section which will go toward the end. Mr.
Pruitt, in addition to dlscussing the draft with Board members, stated that it
will receive many reviews by various bodies and considerable changes will probably
be made. Members complimented Mr. Pruitt on his efforts. It was discussed that
policies to be included will be quantifiable in that they will identify specific
projects to be completed, timing of the completion and funding for the acquisition
or development. Members look forward to participating in the exercise of develop-
ing the Element and recognize that the City Commission will be faced with many
difficult decisions when it comes to deciding on funding for various parts of the
City's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Pruitt stated that there will be at least nine
Elements of which one is Parks and Recreation.
