Resident Input On Parks, Preserves The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department is seeking residents' input on the future direction of the city's parks and desert preserves. Those interested in weighing in can attend one of ten public meetings held throughout the city from late June through August. Those unable to attend a meeting can participate online; the department has posted background information and an online survey on the department website at phoenix.gov/parks in the Park Development Projects link. The City has created this public involvement process in response to the overwhelming May 20 voter approval of the reauthorization of the Phoenix Parks and Preserve Initiative. For the past nine years the Initiative, using a one-tenth of one cent sales tax, has raised more than $200 million to fund the construction and improvement of parks throughout the city and the addition of thousands of acres of desert land to the city's preserve system. In the May 20 vote, voters approved a 30-year extension of the program, which was set to expire next year. The public involvement process will allow residents to set priorities for park and preserve development and improvement over the coming years. When the process is complete, Parks and Recreation Department staff will use the results to develop a proposal and recommendations for consideration by the Parks and Recreation Board and ultimately, the City Council, which will approve a final plan. Listed below is the full schedule of public meetings:
