Compilation of comments received in response to request for input on the revised 2021 Recreation and <br />Tourism Plan <br />Considering KPRD1's official standing with the County, and T2T's status as a sponsored KPRD1 project, I <br />would like to encourage the revised PROS plan to specifically call out Towns to Teanaway under Plan <br />Element 1: Trail Systems. Official recognition in municipal planning documents is often a requirement for <br />projects like T2T to pursue grants and other funding opportunities for capital construction. I'm very glad <br />to see the type of project and activities generally referred to in Action Items 1.4 and 1.7 but being listed <br />by name would do much for our future ability to implement T2T for the further success of organized <br />recreation in Kittitas County. <br />Thank you for your consideration! <br />Sincerely, <br />Nicky Pasi (she/her) <br />Upper Yakima Basin Community Coordinator <br />Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust <br />(509) 656-4073 <br />Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce via email: <br />Hey Nicole, <br />Thank you so much for looping us in on this! The plan is looking great, and we are excited that it aligns <br />with the work we are doing. Just a few thoughts- take what you see fit and leave the rest. <br />Will this be a public document once finalized? What does the timeline look like? How often will it be <br />updated? <br />Under public involvement, "Public Workshops and Forums" is listed- let us know how we can help with this, <br />we also have a Small Business Development Center in upper county that can be used to help facilitate <br />anything the Bocc sees fit. <br />Under Plan Element 1: Trail Systems, I noticed that a lot of the goals along with the gaps we are filling <br />with our project. In the following paragraph, the plan mentions working with private and public <br />agencies. I work closely with the Kittitas County recreation forum as well as the State's Recreate <br />Responsibly coalition- this is an impactful group of skilled land owners, user groups, organizations etc that <br />we may want to include! <br />On Plan Element 4: Our Strategic Role in Recreation and Tourism, who will be updating the future <br />population growth estimates, inventory existing and proposed facility developments? Where should this <br />data be kept? <br />Should we be listed under Action Item 11.2? <br />Thank you so much, <br />Madison Ford <br />Director of Tourism and Events <br />Cie Elum Downtown Association via email: <br />Page 4 <br />
