In 2003, the Town received a $200,000 five year grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to promote active living through programming and physical design. As part of the grant obligation, the Active Living by Design Partnership Committee was formed to provide guidance to the Town on grant implementation.
The Active Living by Design Advisory Committee presented a petition to the Council requesting that the Active Living by Design Advisory Committee be made into a permanent group with continuation of staffing and requested a name change. |

The Council will consider merging the Active Living by Design Committee with the Parks and Recreation Commission. We believe a plan for merger of Active Living with the Parks and Recreation Commission can be accomplished by January, 2010 with a goal of merging by January 2011. |
