Agenda Date: August 22, 2022, 1:30pm
Subject: Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Comprehensive Plan
Update Workshop
Statement of Issue: The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (JCPRAB) and staff
have prepared an update to the 2015 Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails
Comprehensive Plan (PROS Plan). The update was formally recommended by the
JCPRAB on August 4, 2022 and is ready for review by the BoCC in an afternoon
workshop format.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's &t Con's: The 2022 update of the 2015 PROS plan
provides long range planning required by the GMA; qualifies Jefferson County to apply
for Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grants, and is adopted by reference in
the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: The valuable volunteer efforts of the JCPRAB
made this plan possible including: updating the capital improvement plan, conducting
parks tours, community involvement with individuals and organizational partners, and
program evaluation. The only expense is previously budgeted staff time.
Recommendation: Review the updated plan, provide comments and suggestion in a
workshop format.
