MASTER PLANNING PROCESS <br /> The master planning process encompasses five tasks. The <br /> purpose of this master plan report is to summarize the process <br /> and results of each of these tasks and to make final recom- <br /> mendations for the future development of Senator Henry M. <br /> Jackson Park. The tasks are as follows: <br /> 1. Inventory and Analysis <br /> 2. Programming <br /> 3. Alternative Concept Plans <br /> 4. Preliminary Master Plan <br /> 5. Final Master Plan <br /> Throughout the planning process a series of meetings and <br /> presentations were conducted for each of the tasks in order to <br /> gain input from the general public, city staff, the Board of Park <br /> Commissioners and a designated advisory committee. Input <br /> from these meetings and pertinent discussions are incorpo- <br /> rated into the final master plan. Meeting notes, correspon- <br /> dence, and more detailed information about the master plan- <br /> ning tasks are included in the separately bound Appendices. <br /> The city considers public involvement to be critical to the suc- <br /> cess of the master planning process for this park. The city staff <br /> actively sought out thoughts and input from people with a <br /> stake in the park who didn't attend meetings. The city devoted <br /> significant effort towards public outreach including two public <br /> open houses for each phase of the planning process, multiple <br /> public workshops and events, survey questionnaires, a Parks <br /> and Recreation staff field trip to other athletic facilities, a chil- <br /> dren's field trip to area parks and playgrounds, a meeting with <br /> local children's free lunch program, verbal and written corre- <br /> spondence, and project information posted on the city web <br /> site. Because of the diversity of languages spoken in the <br /> neighborhoods surrounding the park, translations were made <br /> available to interested citizens who were not fluent in English. <br /> Languages included Arabic, Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian <br /> and Ukrainian. In addition, photos of potential park amenities <br /> and design illustrations were used to aid communication. <br /> kl) <br /> 1,0 <br /> {I �• i "" k <br /> -so; • 1 f r <br /> P $ <br /> y ' <br /> City staff with children on field trip to local parks <br /> 4 City of Everett <br />
