The plan known as the <br />Parks Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan provides the framework for decisions <br />regarding parks and recreation project and program priorities. The plan is updated every <br />six years and it is kept on file with the Washington State Recreation and Conservation <br />Office (RCO) in order to maintain the City's grant eligibility. <br />As part of the PROS plan development there was a robust public engagement <br />process. During 2021, we conducted 2 different surveys that yielded over 600 responses <br />and attended pop-up events at Forest Park and Thornton A. Sullivan Park. We held two <br />different virtual meetings to collect input and engaged with several community <br />stakeholders from both the Everett and Mukilteo School Districts, Everett Housing <br />Authority, Connect Casino Road, and the Boys and Girls Clubs. Finally, we received emails <br />from several residents and community groups advocating for our park system. The board <br />of park commissioners recommended at its December 7, 2021 meeting that City Council <br />adopt the PROS plan. <br />The link to the PROS Plan is aroject website. <br />The link to the draft copy of the City of Everett's 2022 PROS Plan is LINK . <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council) <br />On 2/9/22 — Briefing Only <br />On 2/16/22 — Adopt Resolution adopting the 2022 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space <br />(PROS) plan. <br />
