Item 4F Memo M E M O R A N D U M May 28, 2019 To: City Council From: Ken Baker, AICP – Senior Director of Planning & Development Services Subject: CP19-0001, Ordinance No. 1219, adopting the City of Southlake Health & Wellness Master Plan, an element of the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan Action Requested: Approval on 1st Reading of the Southlake 2035 Health & Wellness Master Plan. Background Information: The Health & Wellness Master Plan represents a new element in the Southlake 2035 Comprehensive Plan. The City currently offers or supports programs directly related to the serving the community in terms of health and wellness; however, there is not a unifying document tying these efforts together. This plan was developed to capture many of the important initiatives underway currently and plan for the future of Southlake. This plan makes every effort to be representative of a diverse population that includes young people, a middle-aged population, and senior citizens. The plan also considers certain design elements from the perspective of more vulnerable populations to be sensitive to the needs of all residents. City staff held several internal meetings to gather examples of cu rrent applicable programming before crafting plan recommendations. In addition, a review of existing comprehensive plan recommendations related to health and wellness initiatives was conducted. These identified programs and initiatives provided a background into the reach of the City’s health and wellness programming. Based on this initial inventory of programming, staff separated the plan into four main categories, for which the plan would be structured, and any recommendations or research would be captured. These four categories are shown below. • Built & Natural Environment • Mental & Physical Health • Age-Friendly Community • Community Resiliency A number of opportunities were outlined within this plan. In total, there are thirty-six (36) recommendations in the Health & Wellness Master Plan. The purpose of the Health & Wellness Master Plan is to establish clear goals and priorities for the next several years related to encouraging overall community wellness and flourishing. More specifically, this plan will identify opportunities for the City to further position itself as an advocate for the well-being of all residents, visitors, and corporate citizens. Financial Considerations: None. The plan was developed with input from the Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee, the Southlake Youth Action Commission (SYAC), the Southlake Kids Interested in Leadership (SKIL), the Senior Advisory Commission (SAC), and the Carroll ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). Strategic Link: The comprehensive plan falls in line with a number of strategic initiatives; specifically CBO5 (Improve quality of life through progressive implementation of Southlake’s Comprehensive Plan recommendations). Citizen Input/ Board Review: At their regular meeting on September 19, 2017, City Council adopted Resolution No. 17-038 which appointed the Health & Wellness Master Plan Committee to oversee the development of the Health & Wellness Master Plan. Rather than appoint an existing board to develop this plan, City Council opened the Committee to applicants. On June 19, 2018 City Council made appointments to the Heath & Wellness Master Plan Committee through adoption of Resolution No. 18-008. All Committee meetings were open to the public. Staff also met with other City boards, as well as the Carroll ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC). Below is a summary of the public meetings held regarding this plan.
