Background and Analysis:
In an effort to more closely align the OMPD budget calendar with the City’s budget calendar and streamline the overall process, the proposed work plans for the OMPD Boards and Advisory Committees have several proposed changes:
• What had been the second and third Advisory Committee meetings are proposed to be combined into one meeting on October 14 - at this meeting the committee will finalize their report and get a budget preview for the upcoming year.
• There is now a touch point where staff will reach out to park advocates during the week that the proposed OMPD budget is released.
• The September Board meeting in which the Board had received a preliminary budget preview is eliminated. Instead the Board is presented the preliminary budget on October 20, the same night as Council receives the preliminary Operating Budget.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
The YES Olympia Parks coalition was heavily involved in the formation of the Olympia Metropolitan Park District and some of their members continue to take a strong interest in the activities of the OMPD Advisory Committee and Board.
