to meet and get to know one another. He was informed there are a number of programs and events that are offered in
neighborhood parks promoting the gathering of neighbors in the city park. He also asked how the city ensures that parks
are designed correctly and what is the design based on. He was informed the city uses a public input process during the
master planning of city parks that provides residents an opportunity to have a say in how the park is designed. He was
also made aware that neighborhood parks also have design standards, so there is equity in the entire park system. Director
Distad suggested that he and Ramdhan meet for an orientation about his role as a Commission member.
