body
Background:
Concerts in the Park will be held on Wednesday, July 16, 2025 which is also the meeting date for the Parks and Recreation Commission. In 2024, the Commission elected to retain the same meeting date, but adjusted the start time for the meeting from 6:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on days when the Concert time coincided with the meeting time to allow the public to attend both the Commission meeting and the Concerts in the Park series, as well as provide commissioners the opportunity to engage with the public during the popular summer activity. The commission has historically amended the meeting time each July since at least 2014.
Approved:
