# Flagstaff Open Spaces Commission Meeting - September 24, 2026

The City of Flagstaff Open Spaces Commission met on September 24, 2026, and received an update from City staff and Kimley-Horn consultants on the Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Events (PROSE) master plan, which is targeted for completion in summer 2027. The plan is intended to guide priorities, funding, staffing, capital improvements, and ongoing operations and maintenance over the next decade. Commissioners emphasized open-space acquisition and protection, restoration and conservation, trail connections, access in newer and underserved areas, and coordination with the Forest Service, landowners, and other partners. The discussion identified potential future capital and funding needs, but no contract award, bid approval, budget allocation, or procurement vote was reported. A motion was made to approve the August 24 minutes, but the transcript does not capture the vote outcome.

Staff reported plans to submit an Arizona State Parks grant application to replace signage at Picture Canyon. The meeting also discussed public outreach and a planned October 22 community workshop for the master plan. No grant amount or procurement action related to the application was stated. Commissioners raised concerns about proposed zoning-process changes discussed in a representative’s report, particularly possible reductions in public transparency; no commission action on those changes was recorded.
