APPENDIX A
POLICY STATEMENT
Purpose. To establish a policy relating to the adoption of the
Kent Parks and Recreation Plan -1982 as prepared by Jones and
Jones.
Organizations Affected. Parks and Recreation.
References. Kent Parks and Recreation Plan -1982.
Policy. The Kent Parks and Recreation Plan -1982, prepared by
Jones and Jones, shall be the official City document which identi-
fies the needs for park and recreation areas, facil1ties, and
services; establishes standards, sets goals and priorities, and
outlines course of action for implementation.
The plan will be evaluated annually for accomplishments and
modified to reflect current and/or changing conditions, resources,
etc. The plan includes in its appendices a prototype for a
systematic approach to the establishment of priorities within the
action plan. This system is subject to modification over time as
the City's needs and goals change. It provides a means to measure
the desirability of certain types of parks in certain areas
depending on the factors of identified needs, physical features,
cost considerations, and unique opportunities and/or timing.
The plan shall be adopted with the understanding that it is a long
range goal and a flexible guide for future park-acquisition,
development and may need to be modified to take ·advantage of
unforseen opportunities. The basic philosophy of the plan, how-
ever, is recognized as a guide to accomplish long range goals for
the community needs, active, passive and cultural activities.
The Parks Committee of the City Council recognizes that certain
elements of the plan are dependent upon the type of financing
available, including City budgets, grants from various government
agencies, private donations, etc.
It is recognized that some of the elements in the 1972 ORB
Comprehensive Park Plan have not been totally implemented because
of certain mitigating conditions, i.e., availability of funds,
donations, shift in population, shift in perception of needs, and
revised C.I.P. plans, as approved by City Council. However, the
elements have been considered in light of changing needs, goals
and are an integral part of this developing process.
