CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Clearlake Planning Commission postponed a workshop review of the city's parks master plan on Tuesday in light of the absences of two commissioners.
The workshop review was rescheduled to the commission's regular meeting of Feb. 3. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at Clearlake City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive.
City Manager Joan Phillipe said review of the parks master plan is a lengthy, detailed process that should include the participation of all members of the planning commission.
“If we proceed with the review now, we will have to go through it again with the other commissioners,” Chairman Carl Webb said in response to Phillipe's recommendation to postpone the discussion. “It will be double the work if we do it without everybody here.”
The 95-page document examines the current parks and open space resources in the city and surrounding areas, determines the current and projected park needs of the community, and recommends a strategy for implementing the plan.
It includes an assessment of the various parks and recreational resources in the city and adjacent area and discusses park standards and includes an evaluation of current and future park needs.
The master plan also describes funding sources the city may want to pursue in the future.
Phillipe said the current parks master plan was adopted by the city council in January 2003.
“It really hasn't had much review since it was adopted 11 years ago,” she said.
Phillipe said review of the document will assist the planning commission in reestablishing the Parks and Recreation Committee, as it was recently directed by the Clearlake City Council.
The parks master plan is available for public review at Clearlake City Hall during regular business hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday.
