MINUTES — PUBLIC — RECREATION, SPORTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION

The process initiated in December 2023 is recalled. The objective is to reach a consensus on: 1. Identifying the elements to include in the 2024-2025 work plan; 2. Considering emerging issues; 3. Recommending the 2024-2025 work plan. To do this, a look is taken at the progress of files, their importance, and the roles played by the Commission, and if any follow-ups remain to be done regarding them. This process serves to identify what could be renewed over the next two years. A proposal, submitted on the spot, is reviewed. It consists of five files and five objectives:

The means are mainly the subject of discussion. The comments, questions, or answers formulated concern:

Agreed amendments:

• The SLSDC is preparing a presentation calendar for each of the commissions. The members express their satisfaction; this will allow them to better contribute to discussions and recommendations;
• The SLSDC will carry out checks regarding park surveillance during the winter season;
• We would like a follow-up on the progress of actions and recommendations resulting from the Commission. The same applies to opportunity files;
• The emerging issues presented will not be integrated into the work plan. However, these issues should be directed to bodies that will handle them. The SLSDC will submit a proposal at the next meeting so that work can be done in parallel on them.

At the end of the exchanges, the members are to recommend the adoption of the work plan with the discussed amendments.
