PUBLIC EDUCATION PLAN AND LIASON STRATEGIES WITH OUTSIDE AGENCIES Staff and Commission discussed materials prepared on the ub is Education Plan and Liason Strategies with Outside Agencies. The Public Education Plan will attempt to increase Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission image and visability by identifying audiences, methods/techniques of meeting the audiences, messages and techniques of message presentation as well as media to be used for message presentation. Staff believes the Plan to be needed. but possibly will be more appropriate when tied into the telephone survey results. The Liason Strategies deal with an awareness of outside agencies and their impact upon the City and Parks and Recrealzon Advisory Commission. Such agencies include the. DNR, Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission, Hennepin County Park Reserve District as well as adjacent communities. Staff believes that input;/interaction on a formal basis can take place during a Commissioner Education presentation at a regular Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission meeting. Staff will draft both outlines into report format. OTHER BUSINESS Staff is preparing materials on trails priorities and crite)ia for awarding contributions in the Recreation Fund as directed by Council..

Born, Director of Parks. and Recreation SUBJECT:: Telephone Survey Cross, Tabulation Analysis Analysis of the Parks and Recreation telephone survey questions on a cross tabulation basis supports the conclusion. that there is no. solid issue at this time from which to build a bond referendum for parks acquisition and/or development in Plymouth. Results indicate tha; a referendum would be defeated. by a two -to -one margin even though it would )ss in precincts 1, 9, 10 and 12. Curtailment of one's participation would not significantly change the expected defeat. Reliance upon sports league participants would be counterproductive to a referendum in that households with sports Teague participants split narrowly against a referendum. It is staff's recommendation that a park bond referendum for playfield development should not be pursued. The survey results have a direct bearing upon short-term and long-range planning and should. be analyzed in terms of changes tobe made: in parks planning philosophy and the CIP..
