a. Conduct a needs assessment regarding potential recreational and open space uses of the Northwest Community Parks (NCP), including review of pertinent existing reports and information from the City and other governmental organizations. The assessment will also include interviews with City elected officials and Commissioners, City staff, local recreation and tourism organizations, youth sports organizations, and others that may be appropriate to help inform the potential use of the NCPs. The needs assessment will consider the potential uses as well as the existing conditions and constraints of the NCPs, including environmental preservation and development restrictions, the proximity of surrounding neighbors, and maximization of amenity placement, including the ball fields. The assessment will include at least one public meeting/workshop with the City Council and one stakeholder meeting/workshop with the public. b. Create a recommended NCP master plan that identifies a mix of recreational uses for the NCPs that would result in the successful development, operation and maintenance of the land and addresses the current and future needs of the City, its partners and residents. c. Provide detailed estimates of one-time and ongoing costs to develop, operate and maintain the uses described in the recommended master plan. The estimates will include costs for the potential public infrastructure improvements and any environmental review and mitigation which may be required. Public contracting requirements should be considered, including but not limited to, the requirement to pay prevailing wages under the California Labor Code. d. Develop a phased implementation approach for the recommended master plan, considering available funding, land-use approvals and other project constraints. e. Present the recommended master plan report for consideration at a meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, followed by a presentation of the recommended master plan report at a separate City Council meeting.
