In addition, on July 28t", a community information meeting and workshop was held for the 3 purpose of reviewing the specific projects, costs, method and overall approach. The workshop 35 portion (a process that has carried on to other community engagement efforts) was to review 36 the step one proposal and suggest areas that may have been missed, areas that should not 37 be included, areas of higher priority and areas of lower priority. Included in your packet is a 38 bullet listing of the comments received at the meeting. The COT continues to review and 39 consider these comments as the process continues. Generally, the perception is that step one 0 is reflective of the community efforts to date. Aga At the August 2nd, 2011 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting, the Commission 3 recommended that the City Council authorize the method, approach and dollar amount ($19,025,000) as presented in the proposed step one in order to continue to fully engage the 5 Citizen Organizing Team, Implementation Work Groups and other involved citizens in earnest. 6 They also recommended that efforts continue in refining the projects as they make sense in 7 working with the community, the Implementation Work Groups and to work with City Staff and 8 the City Bond Counsel to prepare a resolution and set a public hearing date. 5o As this proposal is considered, there have been discussions about how to address the need 5 1 for maintenance of replaced/revitalized facilities, land acquisitions and other improvements 52 that will generate increased use. While resources for ongoing maintenance have been 53 reduced in past years, it is important that in future budget years, as improvements are made, 54 that consideration be given to provide adequate and appropriate resources based upon 55 community use and expectations. 56 57 The proposed plan does call for additional land acquisition as well as replacement of existing 58 facilities and with new and improved facilities it is fully anticipated that increased use and 59 community gatherings will take place. The desire to create opportunities for residents to 60 gather and engage has been explicitly expressed in all planning efforts conducted by the City 6� and Citizens of Roseville including, but not limited to, Imagine Roseville 2025, Comprehensive 62 Plan, Parks and Recreation Master Plan update and all Citizen Advisory Commissions. 63 64 Included in your packet are the two spreadsheets from the July meeting, the first is a 65 categorical listing of step one implementation projects and costs and the other is a phased 66 step one approach of projects and costs over 5 years. The detail project listings and 67 timeframes are still being reviewed by the community through the work teams and ongoing 68 community dialogue which is anticipated to go on for the next couple of months with final 69 review and recommendations yet to be made by the Implementation Work Groups and the Parks and Recreation Commission. At the time of final recommendation to the City Council on 7 1 the recommended projects, the process will continue with setting a public hearing to issue 72 bonds for the projects. 7 74 Jason Etten, Chair of the COT and the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff will be at 75 the meeting for further discussion. 7 POLICY OBJECTIVE The process to implement the Parks and Recreation System Master Plan is consistent with City 78 goals to engage the community when planning the provision of services, facilities and land use. It is also consistent with the City's efforts as outlined in the Imagine Roseville 2025. Page 2 of 3
