The Medina Park Commission has been established by the City Council pursuant to City Code Section 525.
The purpose of the Park Commission is to make recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council on matters of development related to the city’s parks, equipment, facilities, open spaces, trails, recreational activities and programs, preservation of natural resources, the promotion of environmental awareness, and use of park dedication funds.
Additionally, Commissioners often partake in events such as Clean-up Day and Celebration Day.
The Park Commission meets on the third Wednesday of the month in City Council Chambers at city hall. Meetings are open to the public.
The Park Commission consists of seven members, each of whom is either appointed by the City Council to serve a three-year term or a shorter term to fill a vacancy. A commission chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and a secretary are elected from its members. All Park Commission positions are voluntary.
The Park Commission may also consist of two (2) youth members, each of whom is appointed by the City Council to serve a one-year term. Youth members shall be non-voting members and their presence or absence at a meeting shall not be counted in determining the existence of a quorum of the commission.
