I have been an adult resident of Roseville since 1983 and a homeowner since 1984. My wife and I have four children in the Roseville chool District and all have participated in a wide variety of programs offered through the Parks department. Through my active participation in numerous programs spanning different departments (organizations) in Roseville, I have come to appreciate the delicate balance in allocating resources to the many different constituents that reside in our City. lily main concern for the Parks and Recreation Department is in maintaining the line system of parks we currently have and in continuing to offer- the extensive programs that are currently offered. As Roseville continues on its path as an aging community, its leaders need to take measures to ensure that the attributes that made this community vibrant are there for future generations. strongly believe that the Parrs department is one of those attributes that have made this a wonderful city to live and raise a family in. .What is your view of the role of this Commission? This Commission should be a conduit for the flow of information between the City Council, the public and the Parks Department concerning the allocation of Park Department services. The Commission should represent the opinions of the residents of the City of Roseville as it relates to what they warm and do not want from the Parks Department. On the other hand, the Commission should be able to convey to the residents an understanding of the benefits that a well run Parks Department has to offer this City. Finally, the commission should be able to draw on the experience and expertise of its individual members as it relates to Parr and R Recreation issues. Other Comments: I am seeking a reappointment to an additional term on this commission. I relieve over the past three years I have offered this commission, the Roseville Parks and y€ Recreation Department and the citizens of Roseville intrinsic value and seared with integrity. Two continuing goals would be to continue the role of commissioner goals and to continue the pursuit of effectively funding our extensive pathway system. N
