1. Quarry Master Plan Community Workshop

trails and recreational use, plans to document and preserve the historical resources on the property,
cost estimates for future design, construction, and maintenance, and environmental planning and
clearance. Development of the Master Plan will include considerable opportunities for community
engagement and participation by the City’s Parks and Recreation Commission. The PRC hosted its first
community workshop on July 9, 2013. This is the second community workshop. The agenda for this
workshop is included in the meeting packet.
