Before we get started with your questions, I’d like to explain how you can all participate during this meeting. During the question/comment period if you wish to speak, please use the “raise your hand” function in ZOOM. There are 2 ways to do this: For those who are calling in by phone: Press *9 to “raise your hand”. Again if you are calling in by phone and wish to participate, please use the passcode shown at the upper right portion of the slide For those participating on any platform that uses the ZOOM app or website (screenshots on the screen): Find the “participants” icon at either the top or bottom of your screen – depending on your device. Click on “Participants” and this will open a dialogue box where you will see an option to raise your hand, as shown on the right side of this slide. Alternatively, if you are using an iPad or tablet, you may need to click the three dots that say “more”, as shown on this screen, in order to get to the option to raise your hand. Raised hands will be moved to the top of list in the order in which they were raised. I will then announce your name and unmute you so you can speak and also turn on your video. When it is your turn, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT MUTED ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE AND THAT YOUR VIDEO IS NOT TURNED OFF ON YOUR PERSONAL DEVICE by using the microphone and video icons shown on this slide. When I announce who is up to speak, I will also announce the next person whose turn it will be so that person will be prepared. Once you have asked your question or made a comment, I will re-mute you to allow the speaker to provide an answer. Once an answer has been provided, I will un-mute you again to provide a follow-up remark or question before moving on to the next participant. If you are having any technical issues with Zoom or have further questions, our Constituent Services Coordinator, Jessica Hynd, is at the ready to help. You can call Jessica any time during the meeting at 229-4711 to request help. We are going to do our best to get through as many questions/comments as possible. It looks like we have a number of participants tonight– and we will do our very best to get to each of you. Please keep your comments or questions to no longer than 3 minutes – out of fairness to all participants who wish to be heard. I will respectfully remind folks of this guideline as needed. My aim is to keep things moving along in a fair and efficient manner. Again the goal of this meeting is to have a productive conversation about the project and provide constructive feedback and questions. Please keep that in mind as we move through the meeting tonight. And with that we will go ahead and get started with your questions and comments. Please bear with me as it may take me a moment to unmute folks and move between our speakers. It looks like our first speaker is _____ and on deck after them is ______. Again, I will be unmuting the speakers but please also make sure you are not muted on your end. 8 Youth Art Program 9 10 Pusch Golf Major Action Framework and Recommended Timetable 11 12 Parks and Recreation Master Plan 13 Agenda Prioritized Needs Park Classifications Levels of Service Standards Equity Mapping Connectivity Analysis (Trails) Concept Plan Capital Improvement Plan Next Steps/Questions 14 Community Input and Prioritized Needs 15 What We Heard Ensure recommendations are aligned with community need Cross tabulation of needs by age segments Youth Adults Seniors Continue to engage the community throughout the planning process Nature Tourism will be addressed through environmental education programming recommendations 16 Recreation Programs and Services Prioritized Needs 17 18 19 Park, Facility, and Amenity Prioritized Needs 20 21 22 Park Classifications 23 Mini Parks Small, urban open spaces that serve a variety of functions, such as: small event space, play areas for children, spaces for relaxing and socializing, taking lunch breaks, etc. Four key qualities: Accessible Allow people to engage in activities Comfortable spaces that are inviting Sociable places Service area is usually less than a quarter-mile and are intended for users within close walking distance Design: Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines and ADA standards.

The service area is calculated by the quantity of inventory of each site extended in a uniform radius until the population served by the recommended standard is reached. Shaded areas indicate the extent of the service area based on recommended inventories. Unshaded areas indicate locations that would remain outside of the standard service area for each park type or park asset.   47 Community Parks 48 Regional Park 49 Special Use Parks 50 Conservation/Trail Parks 51 Connectivity Analysis 52 What We Heard Trails are a high priority for Town residents Phase 2 scope was adjusted to include the identification of shared use path connectivity opportunities Ensure that connectivity to parks and schools and other jurisdictional trail systems is included. 53 Connectivity Analysis Scope Identify missing shared use path trail segments Identify possible opportunities to generally expand the shared use path trail system Prioritize the opportunities to better connect and expand the shared use path trails system Soft surface trail development goes “hand-in-hand” with preservation of open space opportunities 54 Connectivity Analysis - Overall 55 Connectivity Analysis – North of Tangerine 56 Connectivity Analysis – Rancho Vistoso Community Loop 57 Connectivity Analysis – Catalina State Park 58 Connectivity Analysis – South of Tangerine 59 Connectivity Analysis – Naranja Park and Community Center 60 Connectivity Analysis – Community Center and Lambert Lane 61 Connectivity Analysis – Riverfront to James D.
