The Grants Pass Parks Advisory Committee is set to convene for its scheduled meeting on February 13, 2025, at 3:30 PM. The meeting will take place at Grants Pass City Hall, located at 101 NW ‘A’ Street, in the Ridge Room #108. Members of the public who wish to attend virtually can do so by calling 1-971-279-6431 and using conference ID 217 808 172 #.
This meeting provides an opportunity for the public to address the committee on topics not related to a public hearing or specific action items. Community members concerned about the state and maintenance of local parks are encouraged to participate and share their perspectives. Each speaker will be given a three-minute window to address the committee as a whole rather than directing comments to individual members.
The committee may choose to discuss topics raised during public comments later in the meeting under the “Matters from Committee Members and Staff” segment. This allows for additional consideration of community concerns and potential future action.
In addition to public comment, the meeting will focus on several key agenda items. These include:
Strategic Goal Presentation: A review of the committee’s long-term objectives and priorities for the city’s parks and recreational facilities.
Committee Collaboration: Discussion on enhancing coordination between committee members and city departments to improve decision-making processes.
Bikeways – Tool Installation Location: Consideration of possible locations for installing new bikeway tools to enhance cycling accessibility and maintenance throughout the city.
Each discussion item is allotted a 10-minute time limit to ensure an efficient and structured meeting.
City officials encourage residents to attend and provide input as the Parks Advisory Committee plays a vital role in shaping the city’s recreational spaces. The feedback received during these meetings can influence policy decisions, funding allocations, and project implementations aimed at improving public parks and outdoor spaces.
For those unable to attend in person or virtually, written comments may be submitted in advance to the City of Grants Pass Parks Advisory Committee. Further details regarding agenda items and meeting materials can be accessed through the city’s official website.
As Grants Pass continues to expand its recreational offerings, community involvement in advisory meetings remains essential. Whether it’s advocating for improved park maintenance, proposing new amenities, or voicing concerns about current conditions, public input helps shape the future of the city’s outdoor spaces.
The next Parks Advisory Committee meeting is anticipated to provide further updates on ongoing projects and community initiatives. Residents are encouraged to stay engaged and participate in shaping the recreational future of Grants Pass.
