The upper portion of the Framework consists of the Park District’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values as set forth by the Park Board of Commissioners. Next, the core of the Framework identifies key organizational plans that are refined regularly per stakeholder input received from the Community Survey (Appendix F). The survey is conducted every three to five years to ensure the District stays on target with recreational trends and community needs. Finally, the lower portion of the Framework includes priorities derived from recommendations within the organizational plans that provide direction in formulating and updating the Recreation Programming Plan (Appendix K) and Capital Plan. Both plans include evaluation worksheets to effectively analyze and deliver programs, services, and capital improvements with linkages to the Park District’s Core Values.
