The Housing Element identifies housing solutions to meet local needs and the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for the 2023-2031 planning period. It outlines goals, policies, and programs focused on racial equity, environmental justice, and resilience to improve housing access, preservation, stability, and production. The plan serves as the City's housing action roadmap, guiding daily decision-making and establishing benchmarks for achieving overall housing objectives.

The agenda focuses on discussions regarding the operations of the Parks and Recreation Commission in accordance with the Municipal Code. Additionally, the commission will address the development of the 5-year Park and Recreation Plan, specifically reviewing the plan template and discussing the necessary sections required for its completion.

The overarching vision is for the department to be recognized as a leader in public service delivery, distinguished by its responsiveness, reliability, and responsible stewardship of both fiscal and human resources.
