3. System planning will include public participation at every step. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Committee will provide a forum for open discussion of issues to insure early and continuing public participation in park planning, rather than review of decisions already made. The Committee will continue to facilitate public awareness and encourage input on all aspects of parks, trails, open space and recreation. 4. The Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan will be based upon directions established by the general Comprehensive Plan - Policy Plan/Development Framework. The System Plan will be implemented through integration with other City activities involving private growth management and provision for other public facilities and services. System planning data will be continually transmitted in usable form to all other City departments in order to maintain an awareness of needs and opportunities. General Recreational System Outreach Standards: 1. To the extent possible, the Parks and Recreation Department shall provide comprehensive park and recreation programs and facilities for all residents and groups of the community. 2. Programs and facilities shall be organized and offered so as to maximize participation and overcome physical or economic limitations which may serve to prevent equal opportunity. Policies: 1. Parks and Recreation administration and operations will be implemented based on City Council and Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Advisory Committee policies, procedures and ordinances. 2. The department will recognize conflicts and mediate fairly in matters in which special interest groups seek to achieve results, which may not serve the best interests of the community in general. 3. Besides the standard programs and facilities typically recognized in a recreational/parks/trail system, equitable consideration will be devoted, but not limited to, the following special concerns: a. Areas for natural interpretation, conservation easements, greenway corridors and trails. b. Historic preservation.
