BACKGROUND: In 1965 Ordinance 1526 created the Parks and Recreation Department and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. The department has grown significantly and changed since that time and updates are needed. DISCUSSION: In 2021 the Department was restructured to include Arts and Culture, and renamed Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs. At the same time, maintenance functions were moved into the Public Works department. With this restructuring came new responsibilities. The proposed amendments to Article 33. Major updates include updating the department name throughout, updating the duties of the department to include arts and culture and clarify coordination with Public Works, and updating the duties of the advisory board. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reviewed these updates and unanimously recommended approval.
