Mission Statement

The Calaveras Parks and Recreation Commission was established by the County of Calaveras to initiate the process of creating an efficient and adequately funded system of parks and recreational programs within Calaveras County.

The Commission is to provide a supporting role to local governments as well as non-profit and volunteer organizations that provide existing park facilities and programs currently serving county residents. In locations not currently within an agency, the Commission shall be the local provider for new facilities as they are proposed and funded.

The initial year's efforts will be two-fold. The Commission will ensure allocated grant funds for existing proposed projects are finalized and the facilities are built according to the commitments on the use of those funds. Secondly, the parkland dedication program shall be institutionalized and made operational.

The longer term effort (one to three years) will be to work with local government agencies and community organizations on developing a Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the county and on developing a permanent governmental structure that will be capable of implementing the Master Plan.

The Calaveras Parks and Recreation Commission will work to become self-supporting within three years and, following the development of the Recreation Master Plan, become a Special District independent of county government within five years.

Commissioner Bob Dean represents the Calaveras County Water District, which serves the Arnold to Forest Meadows, Valley Springs to Jenny Lind, and West Point to Wilseyville. e-mail
