BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

The establishment of a Parks and Recreation Board was recommended as part of the Town of Sunnyvale’s 2025-2026 Charter Review process. On February 9, 2026, the Town Council approved Ordinance No. 2026-04, ordering a special election to consider proposed amendments to the Town Charter, including the creation of a Parks and Recreation Board.

 

The amendment was placed on the May 2, 2026, Special Election ballot as Proposition P. Proposition P asked voters whether Article VII (Boards and Commissions) of the Town Charter should be amended to require the Town Council to establish a Parks and Recreation Board.

 

On May 2, 2026, Sunnyvale voters approved the proposed Town Charter amendments, including Proposition P, requiring the establishment of a Parks and Recreation Board.

 

The proposed ordinance will establish the Parks and Recreation Board in accordance with the amended Town Charter and provide for the Board’s purpose, composition, membership, terms, duties, meetings, and responsibilities.
