This includes encouraging maintenance of facilities and grounds; encouraging recreational programs; making recommendations regarding expansion of parks facilities and programs; and recommending rules, regulations, and guidelines governing the use of parks, including the establishment of sport seasons, scheduling of activities, available services and other park and recreation related issues as directed by the city council. b. This board is also charged with making recommendations to the City to help protect and preserve the city’s environmental resources, through education and recommending environmental programs and services, in coordination with appropriate state and federal agencies. In addition, the board hears appeals of the decisions of the planning director in regard to enforcement of the city’s noise ordinance as well as actions by neighborhood services staff enforcing the city’s graffiti ordinance. The Board also serves as the city’s Tree Board, whose roles and responsibilities are described in the city’s tree preservation ordinance. c.
