"Creating Community Through People, Parks, and Pragrarns"
Date:. 318110
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject: Natural Resources and Recreation Commission Proposed Name Change
The NRRC is seeking an ordinance chance to allow for the NRRC to change the commissions name from the
Natural Resources and Recreation Commission {NRRC) to the Parks and Recreation Commission
hi discussions at a recent NRRC meeting, the NRRC brought up the idea of changing this commissions name to
better reflect who they are and what they oversee. During a recent neighborhood meeting with the Out lot 7
neighborhood, the residents of this neighborhood, due to no fault of theirs, did not equate the name of the
NRRC with serving as parks and recreation.oversight. The NRRC tivished for me to bring this issue forward to
the Parks and Recreation Committee of Council for discussion as I did on February 24t~' meeting. The Parks
and Recreation Committee of Council agreed with the recommendation of the NRRC to change the
commission's name,
1 welcome any questions.
Thank you!
