GENERAL PROVISIONS
§ 92.001 MISSION.
   (A)   To be successful in planning for enhanced and new recreation facilities, parks, open space and trails in the borough, it is important to establish the mission of the recreation planners in the borough and develop a vision of what these elements will be like in the future. The borough’s recreation planners will be able to communicate to governing bodies, planning commissions, municipal staffs and the general public what the purpose for recreation planning is (the mission), where it wants to go (the vision) and how it can get there (goals) accomplished through recommendations and implementation strategies. This process is important to developing support for new programs, special events and facilities.
   (B)   The Borough Recreation Committee developed the following mission statement.

§ 92.002 MISSION STATEMENT.
   The borough will continue to cooperate in the planning and implementation of park, recreation and trail facilities in the borough and provide the recreation facilities throughout the borough that are linked by a rails-to-trails system. Open space is protected and preserved. Enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities are available to the borough’s residents, handicapped facilities will be integrated into the plan and a plan for a future community center will be the key aspects in providing recreation to residents of all ages. The municipality will partner with the private sector and community groups as well as local municipalities, county and state government to provide outstanding opportunities to the borough’s residents.
