The open house was designed to inform community members about the master plan process and existing conditions at the park, as well as to present 16 potential improvement projects developed in response to community feedback and existing needs. Participants also had the opportunity to take site tours to review park conditions and discuss areas of potential improvement with City staff. A number of participants provided verbal comments to staff or via comment forms or surveys that were later summarized for consideration by planners and decision makers. In response to comments received, the planning team prepared a concept master plan for the park. The plan showed the park as it might look if all of the potential projects were implemented. On May 16, 2006 voters approved a city-wide Parks Bond Issue which included over $2.6 million allocated for Saltwater Park. Following the approval of the Parks Bond, it became a high priority to identify projects that could be implemented with these funds. To determine the overall project program the potential improvement projects for Saltwater Park were preliminarily grouped into three categories: Master Plan AUGUST Draft Master Plan Park Board Briefing Sept 6, 2006 Draft Plan Council Briefing and Approval of Early Implementation Projects Oct 2, 2006 SEPTEMBER OCTOBER 1) projects for early implementation, 2) projects for design development, and 3) projects for further study. The City then hosted a second open house at the park on July 29, 2006 to present the concept plan and to confi rm the park projects that were of highest priority. In order to encourage community participation and receive a diverse variety of feedback, the City distributed meeting notifi cation announcements in several forms. Meeting notifi cation strategies included distributing postcards to area residents, issuing a notice in the Shoreline Enterprise, and posting a meeting announcement on the City website and cable television station. The community members at this open house helped reshape some projects and adjust project priorities.
