PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD
CITY OF ALLEN
Work Plan
Introduction
The City of Allen Parks and Recreation Board was established by ordinance in 1980 as an
advisory board to the City Council concerning all matters related to parks and recreation
The Board's primary purpose is to help the Parks and Recreation Department plan
adequate park facilities and recreation programs, to accommodate growth, citizen needs
and desires. As representatives of the community, the Board brings to the City a broader
knowledge where the interest of the community falls
In general, the duties of the Board are "to act principally in an advisory capacity of the city
staff and the City Council in all matters pertaining to parks and recreation, shall acquaint
itself with and make a continuous study and review of the complete parks and recreation
services of the city, and shall advise with the city staff and City Council from time to time
as to the present and future maintenance, operation, planning, acquisition, development,
enlargement, and use policies of the city park and recreation services"
The following plan represents the vision and goals of the current Parks and Recreation
Board as determined are important for the next three years. This plan should be utilized as
a guide and reviewed periodically. The Board should revise or update this work plan every
three years, however, this update period could be shortened or extended as it is also
dependent upon outside factors such as community growth rate, significant economic
impacts or Board member turnover.
Mission Statement
"We will represent the citizens of Allen in an advisory role to the City Council and City
Staff concerning park and recreation issues and be a knowledgeable, active board
providing the citizens with high quality, safe, active and leisure recreational programs and
facilities that enhance the quality of life "
Board Goals and Objectives
Goals state in general terns what the Parks and Recreation Board wishes to accomplish in
the future. Achieving these goals is the challenge for the next three years. To assist in this
task, objectives for each goal are required Objectives are the incremental steps necessary
to allow the Board to monitor their progress toward realizing the goal and ultimately reach
its goal The Parks and Recreation Board has established the following goals as issues
requiring focused effort over the next three years and the objectives as necessary to achieve
these goals.
