INFORMATIONAL MEMO <br />Page 2 <br />On October 29, 2019, MIG presented an update to the Community Development and <br />Neighborhoods Council Committee on the PROS Plan process and accomplishments. The update <br />included community engagement efforts, needs assessment findings, and key challenges, barriers, <br />and potential opportunities. The 2019 CDN Committee provided valuable input on the plan <br />development. <br />At the December 4, 2019 Community Development and Neighborhoods Council Committee, <br />staff shared the top ten key needs identified through the community engagement process, along <br />with capital projects and priorities. The Council Committee reviewed, discussed, and provided <br />feedback to staff to help guide future decision making on capital projects and priorities that best <br />address the key needs. <br />The culmination of all the community and committee work is captured in the draft 2020 — 2025 <br />PROS Plan, which is complete and open to the public for review and comment. <br />DISCUSSION <br />A draft version of the PROS Plan was made available to the public on Friday, February 14, 2020 <br />for review and comment (Attachment A). The review period closes Sunday, March 1, 2020. <br />Concurrently, the draft PROS Plan was distributed to all Councilmembers. Staff are facilitating <br />review and discussion of the draft plan with both the Community Services & Safety and <br />Planning & Economic Development Council Committees. Additionally, there is a public hearing <br />scheduled for February 24, 2020 Committee of the Whole. <br />Once the review period closes, the consultant will update the plan and a final version will be <br />presented at the March 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole, and subsequent April 6, 2020 <br />Regular Meeting for adoption by ordinance (Attachment B). The final plan will need to be <br />adopted at the April 6, 2020 Regular Meeting to be eligible to apply in this 2-year cycle for <br />potential future grant funding from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office <br />(RCO). If the plan is not adopted by that time, special permission will have to be pursued from <br />RCO to become eligible, however, it is not guaranteed. <br />Here is a summary of the review and adoption schedule for reference <br />2/14 — Draft plan distributed to all Councilmembers <br />2/24 — CSS Committee draft plan review & feedback <br />2/24 — COW Public Hearing <br />3/2 — PED Committee draft plan review & feedback <br />3/23 — COW Plan Adoption (discussion) <br />4/6 — REG Plan Adoption by Ordinance <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />n/a <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Council Committees are being asked to consider this item and approve sending the final <br />version of the PROS Plan to the March 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole and the April 6, 2020 <br />Regular Meeting for adoption by ordinance. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A.
