Parks and Rec Post OPEN

Anyone wishing to serve on one of the citiy's more prominent volunteer advisory committees AND is a Ward III resident may want to consider serving on the Park and Recreation Committee.

The Park & Recreation Committee recommends policies and guidelines to the City Council on issues related to the Prairie Village park system and the Prairie Village Swimming Pool Complex. I am an advocate of term limits on these committees but since we don't have them I'm glad there is an opening on one of the more active commitees.

If you want to know what serving on parks and Rec is like, let me know. I know a couple of residents who work hard and have done some really fabulous things as part of this important group.

You need to be available at least to attend meetings every second Wednesday of the month at 7:00pm. There are no particular qualifications but we typically have people with kids or with a strong interest or background in recreation/landscaping or something related.

If you live in Ward III and are interested, see the sidebar for the link to an application. Let me know if you want to submit an application and I'll contact the City administrator and Mayor to expect your response.
