City plans Parks Master Plan open house

The City will take another step in the development of its Parks Master Plan when it hosts an open house Monday, June 13, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at City Hall that’s designed to collect additional input on what features citizens would like to see in Kyle’s parks.

No formal presentations are planned at the open house and participants can arrive and depart at their leisure. According to an announcement posted on the City’s Web site, those attending the open house will have the opportunity to:

• Review results of the public on-line survey that was conducted during April and May.
• Vote on City park system goals and objectives.
• Learn about, and comment on, suggested City park system needs and priorities.
• Comment on preliminary recommendations regarding the development of City park properties and recreational programs.

In other words, if you think the City really should construct and operate a full-service recreational center somewhere in Kyle, or that the City should substitute water parks in place of municipal swimming pools, this is the place to make that known.

Incidentally, according to Parks Director Kelly Urbanowicz, the City received 1,006 responses from its on-line survey. That's not to say 1,006 persons responded, but if, for the sake of argument, 1,006 persons did respond, that would be only 14 fewer persons than voted in the recent Place 1 City Council election. Just sayin'.

But I digress. The Web site announcement concerning the Open House said "City staff and members of our consultant team will be on hand" to answer any questions.
