REVIEW
OF 2004-2005 GOALS
Director Robertson reviewed existing 2004-2005 goals
and listed progress made to date. Many goals were completed, some were nearly
finished, and others required additional work.
Discussion Among
Commissioners
The commission agreed that most of the 2004-2005 goals
were well underway, with a few exceptions, such as the “Funding for Open Space”
project and “Implementation of an Environmental Stewardship Program,” which
includes eradication of non-native species within the parks system. The
commission discussed scheduling a future study session to discuss the latter
issue in detail.

Robertson solicited input from the commission about
their desired goals for the upcoming fiscal year.

thirteen goals.
Staff was directed to use the feedback from the
meeting to create a goals document for the commission’s review at the February
study session.
ADJOURNMENT – With no further business, Gardiner adjourned
the meeting.
