Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes April 18, 2023 Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />C. Ramsey County All-Abilities 2050 Transportation Plan <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson explained that Ramsey County is working on an All-Abilities <br />Transportation Plan. PTRC members are encouraged to share input via the website link in the <br />memo. <br /> <br />D. PTRC Handbook <br /> <br />Tabled until next month. <br /> <br />E. Outdoor Education <br /> <br />Committee Member Seemann said she was interested in holding somewhat informal classes on <br />invasive species, pollinators and other things like that in the parks. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson felt these ideas were all great and they would be easy to <br />implement working together. She could come to the playground programs and teach things to the <br />kids that are already in the program, they could also have times where it would be open for anyone <br />to come. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Poelzer and seconded by Committee Member <br />Dietz that Committee Member Seemann should work with Recreation Supervisor Johnson to <br />organize outdoor educational classes. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />F. PTRC Survey <br /> <br />Tabled until next month. <br /> <br />5. REPORTS <br /> <br />G. Council Liaison Update <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau stated that she would like to add a one-year youth committee position <br />by targeting the high school and possibly Bethel University. They would probably serve from <br />September to May to give them an opportunity to get involved with local government. She <br />wondered if PTRC would be interested in piloting that. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Poelzer and seconded by Committee Member <br />Seemann to pilot a youth committee member position on the PTRC. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher asked if this was to give them experience to watch government in <br />motion or would there actually be tasks or projects they’d want this person to be involved in. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said her preference would be to have them be the 13th seat, they could <br />get involved as much as they wanted to involve with things like the Egg Hunt. <br /> <br />Committee Member Nelson felt it was a good idea as they make a lot of decisions with youth in <br />mind, so it would be good to get input from them. <br />
