Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting 02/17/2026

The City of Encinitas Parks & Recreation Commission held a meeting on February 17, 2026, focusing primarily on reviewing and approving outcome language for various work plan items related to city parks, trails, and recreational programming. Key procurement-related discussions included a recommendation to the City Council to approve a summer 2026 pilot program for the Santoy Recycling Project at Moonlight Beach. The commission noted that the program had been vetted by marine safety and parks staff, would have no fiscal impact on the city, and included a report back on program efficacy in fall 2026. Additionally, the commission discussed ongoing and future initiatives such as popup parks, trail master plans, and community engagement efforts, with no new contracts or budget allocations announced. The meeting concluded with updates on department activities and recognition of departing commissioners.
