Staff Review Comments - Parach
Park and Recreation District Servlice Plan
Battlement Mesa
•
On behalf of the staff I have completed a review of the
captioned service plan using the provisions of CRS 32-1-203
as a guide.
I feel the Board of County Commissioners should make specific
inquiry of the applicant in two areas which appear to raise
questions needing clarification.
1. Financial ability of the proposed district.
This area of the plan presumes several variables
in. the data produced by the CITF run which 1
understand was used to reach the.assessed
valuations indicated.
The applicant should identify theSee assumptions
for the public record and permit the Board to
comment on their validity.
2. Existing and projected need for the district.
There is no discussion of population to be served
by the facilities proposed. Some indications of
future population trends should be made to assure
the need for the facilities.
An inventory of the existing recreation facilities
and programs should be made. This inventory, if
complete, should give an indication of need not only
now but in the future.

If there was a complete inventory of existing
recreation facilities and programs and an
assessment of current demands of the residents of
the service area, the need could be determined. No
such comparison is contained in the plan.
The only apparent assessment of need is the creation
of a source of funds to support recreation facilities
that are either now in place or that will be
available for general public use in the near future.
T would urge the Board to consider the ultimate consequences
of creating a recreation district which has no long range
program goals projected or the population identified to
consume the services provided. My review indicates that
there is not enough information contained in the proposed
service plan to give an indication of the benefits to be
gained by residents of the proposed district.
