Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – February 13, 2024 Page 5 <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said Committee Member Seemann would continue working on the invasive <br />species projects. She would put Committee Members Dietz and Nelson at least temporarily under <br />habitat. <br /> <br />Committee Member Weber said she could help in whatever area needed more people. <br />Accessibility and community were what interested her most. <br /> <br />Committee Member Johnson was interested in working with rain gardens and community <br />involvement if they needed more help. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson noted that rain gardens would probably fall under habitat restoration and she <br />could be on that group as well. <br /> <br />Youth Committee Member Edgar said she would also be interested in planning. <br /> <br />Committee Member Rogers said trails and planning pieces have to do with knowing what the <br />City Council is doing looking ahead to the next few years and what the PTRC response or <br />recommendation would be. She would like to do that and not accessibility. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said they could review the trails priority list later in the year. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said she had a spreadsheet regarding trails she could send to <br />everyone. <br /> <br />Committee Member Seemann stated as far as she knew they couldn’t do anything with rain <br />gardens until Public Works compiles a list of locations. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson would like rain gardens to stay as a project under habitat restoration and hoped <br />they would make a plan that may include reaching out to the Public Works Director. <br /> <br />Committee Member Johnson would prefer to have a work group that has the title of what they <br />are focusing on rather than an overarching group. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson explained that she thought the groups could decide what projects they’d like to <br />work on. They didn’t necessarily need to assign people to groups tonight, the more pressing issue <br />was identifying goals so she can present them to Council. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding goals. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau felt the Council would like an update on what areas PTRC wants to <br />focus on this year. She thought a template could be made for timelines and resources. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson wanted to be sure everyone was comfortable with the goals she had provided. <br />She would send an updated version to staff for distribution. <br />
