Committee Expectations: While the work required of PTRC members will vary both across members and across time, the following expectations are generally held of all committee members: 1. The interests of Arden Hills and its citizens are foremost 2. Participation of PTRC members is key to their contribution— a. Members should be present and involved in meetings of the committee. b. Members should be actively engaged in discussing issues, sharing perspectives, and raising questions that are essential to good decision- making. c. Effective participation derives from continually learning about Arden Hills parks, trails, and recreation and the physical and political environments in which they exist. This learning includes those formal opportunities afforded by the PTRC, as well as informal opportunities that occur in the course of one's activities. d. As a general guideline, members should expect to spend approximately 6 to 8 hours per month in their work on the committee. 3. The PTRC is a group of peers no one member has more standing or power than others. 4. Respect for the opinions of each other, and for those with whom the PTRC interacts, is a hallmark of the committee's work. Members seek clarity in presenting their views, and represent a sense of stewardship in all that they do. 5. PTRC members engage in continual self assessment of their performance on the committee. As needs arise, they seek education and skills necessary to their performance. As a collective, the committee develops changes in its composition, structure and function as needed. 6. The PTRC provides opportunities for the education of its members, both as part of committee meetings, and through access to educational events in other settings. Members actively engage in this education as part of their responsibility to the committee.
