The City of Yelm is updating the Yelm Parks & Recreation Plan. The subcommittee that is revising that plan has created a survey to enlist public participation and input. The plan will identify the short and long term goals for improving and adding to the Yelm park and recreation system. This survey will help identify short and long term priorities and is essential information for the City as it applies for grants and identifies other funding sources to achieve plan goals. Please help us create a better Yelm by participating in this survey.
What You Can Do Now
1. Fill out and return a Yelm Community Parks and Recreation Plan Survey that will be:
Sent in the March Yelm water bills
Available at City Hall, the Yelm Library, the Chamber of Commerce, Nisqually Valley News, the Yelm Adult Community Center, and printable from the City of Yelm website.
Return completed surveys to Yelm City Hall, 105 Yelm Ave. W or mail to City of Yelm, PO Box 479,
Yelm, WA 98597, or FAX to (360) 458-3144.
2. This spring and summer:
Participate in the plan review process. Review the Draft Yelm Parks and Recreation Plan or come to an open house in May or June to learn about and get a chance to review the plan and proposed short and long term priorities. The new draft plan will be reviewed by the Yelm Planning Commission (YPC) who will hold a public hearing on it as well as on an updated Park/Open Space Chapter of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan. The YPC will send a recommended plan and updated comprehensive plan chapter to the Yelm City Council who will complete their review and adopt a new plan and chapter by the end of the year.
If you have any questions please call Tami Merriman (360) 458-8496.
