Tuesday revealed its new master plan to serve as a guide for the future development of recrea- tional facilities. One of the major changes recommended in the master plan is in the levels of responsibility for developing, maintaining and operating recreational facilities. The plan states that the county should consider turning over the operation, maintenance and future development of smaller parks in cities to those cities. This could be done through leases, sales or contracting of services. Money saved from this should be used to upgrade the present level of maintenance and operations rather than spending it on capital im to September of 1980 aided in development of the master plan. Attitudes of people concerning existing recreational facilities were used to help create the plan. Additional recommendations made in the new master plan include: -- Facility and program development. Priority should be given to provements. The master plan was completed at a cost of $50,000, not including staff costs. Funding came from the county general and capital improvement funds. The County Commission authorized work on the plan to begin in 1979 and the plan was unveiled at a meeting in the county commission chambers Tuesday. The plan contains recommendations for recreational facilities during the next five to 20 years. It is also a requirement for any federal funding requests from local units in the county. The new plan takes the place of the 1972 master plan, which has become outdated as a result of recent developments, particularly in funding. A survey conducted from June recreational facilities generate the greatest swimming pools, skating rinks and sports play fields. With this development comes the need to increase programs offered to maximize the use of facilities. -- Funding. Other sources should be sought in addition to government funding. These sources could be private, corporate, bonds, user fees or special foundations. From the survey, the public has indicated a willingness to pay user fees to help defray the cost. A more extensive user fee system should be utilized but facilities and programs should be available at no charge during regular hours also. Private and commercial organizations should be encouraged to provide recreation facilities when possible. -- Use of school grounds. A greater effort should be made to make school so they can serve grounds park-likas neighborhood parks during nonschool periods. Equipment, facilities and costs may be shared to avoid duplication of services. The purchase of schools no longer in use should be considered, particularly for multipurpose and recreation centers. -- Design of facilities. Simple, inexmaterials pensive, vandal-resistashould be used in designing recreational facilities. Also, these should be designed so that they are accessible to all members of society, including the handicapped. Other recommendations are the increased use of volunteers, particularly senior citizens; a greater effort to inform the public about recreational events; leasing out park land awaiting development; requiring project developers to dedicate land, fees or construct facilities in their projects to gain approval and increase security in parks. In planning for the future, the county has been divided into eight districts. In the Green Sheet area are three of these districts, Big Cottonwood, Valley and Magna, with the other five districts Salt Lake City, Little Cottonwood, Jordan canyons and Draper. Big Cottonwood district includes South Salt Lake, Murray and Holla-daThe recreation survey shows that residents here are satisfied with recreation facilities and programs. However, there is a need for more parks, playgrounds, swimming pools e and centers, as well as a need for organized leagues and cultural programs.
