The charge to the Northern Human Services Plan Task Force is to identify the needs and develop a
long-range plan for the Northern Human Services Center and the property adjacent to the Center that the

Human Services Center.
2. Identify the specific needs of agencies occupying the building.
3. Prioritize the CIP needs for the building and adjacent property.
4. Assess the current and potential uses of the building to determine the possible impacts of those uses on
the existing waste treatment system.
5. Evaluate the location of the park and ride lot and possible impacts on client parking for the building
and future park.
6. Review the status of all easements on the property.
7. Review recreational programs at the Center to ensure future park design will include existing
programs and possibly expand active and low-impact recreational activities for the area.
