REDMOND, WA -
The
City of Redmond is recruiting a new volunteer member for the Parks and Trails
Commission. Parks and Trails
Commissioners meet once a month on the first Thursday and serve four-year terms
that may be renewed. Commissioners also participate on special committees and
attend public meetings and events; cultivate community engagement around Parks
and Recreation Department projects and programs; and occasionally meet with
City Council and other commissions, as appropriate.
The
Parks and Trails Commission has one open position for Redmond residents. The
Parks and Trails Commission has improved the quality of life for the Redmond
Community by advising the Mayor and City Council on parks, trails, and
recreational facility planning and programming in the city. The Commission also
interfaces with the broader community, so that it can represent community
members’ interests to the City Council. The work program for the commission
currently includes advising staff and City Council on the Capital Investment
Strategy for long-term parks projects, the future of Redmond’s Community
Centers, various planning and capital projects, recreational programming fees
and strategies, park rules, a tree canopy strategy, and an American’s with
Disabilities Act Transition Plan for the parks system.
