From the meeting
The September 8 and September 23, 2026 recreation materials said the department wrapped up its search for Superintendent of Parks and Facilities and offered the job to Philip Booker, who started September 14. The reports say he brings asset-management experience, budget responsibility, safety awareness, and operational systems experience. That makes this a buying trigger for future parks, facilities, and capital planning decisions, even though no solicitation was issued.
