The Shawnee County Parks and Recreation Advisory Board was formed through Contract Nos. 304-2011 and 313-2011. The Shawnee County Parks & Recreation Advisory Board was organized exclusively to provide input, assistance, feedback, and support to the Shawnee County Parks and Recreation Department and its Director, as well as provide advice and information to the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Shawnee, Kansas, and to the public. The scope of the Shawnee County Parks & Recreation Advisory Board is advisory in nature and retains no binding authority over the final decision of the Director of Shawnee County Parks & Recreation and/or the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Shawnee, Kansas. The Executive Committee of the Advisory Board recommended Listening Tours to be held one (1) in each City Council District and one (1) in each County Commission District outside the city limits of Topeka, committees were formed to work directly with staff involved with Parks, Recreation, Golf and Long-Range Planning, and a questionnaire was distributed at each listening tour stop and online.
