3. DISCUSS MASTER PLAN NEXT STEPS Brokke introduced the Master Plan implementation process. Citizen involvement will be as important in this stage as it was in the master plan update stage. Jill Anfang will be taking on a leadership role in the implementation process. Anfang outlined some early thoughts on the implementation process. She talked about how the implementation process needs to be a grass roots initiative with participation by a wide range of community members. It has been suggested that a core team of community leaders work with a larger group of community representatives to educate and communicate the Master Plan findings, promote the implementation process and support a referendum for maintenance and development. Traits for the core implementation team include (but are not limited to) heart and passion, business and financial skills, communications and promotions skills, and community and political connections. Azer suggested adding a volunteer coordinator to the core team to organize and coordinate the larger work group. There is a place for everyone interested in being involved in the master plan implementation process; work groups will have broad representation and can include constellation representatives, association and affiliation representatives, special interest groups, commissioners and master plan citizen advisory team members. Commissioner Doneen suggested adding community members with a connection or interest in the Master Plan key recommendations (i.e. trailways and connectivity, implementation of the constellation concept, community center). The Master Plan Update involved extensive community input. A necessary implementation component is a statistically valid survey to support earlier findings and give direction for the implementation process. A preliminary, generalized timeline was shared; o September 2010 Community Survey inquiries o October 2010 Community Feedback on Master Plan Update o October-November 2010 Establish Core Implementation Team o November 2010 Master Plan Adopted by Council and Commission o November-December 2010 Orientate, Educate, Strategize with Implementation Team o December 2010 Establish Work Groups o January-February 2011 Community Survey o March-April 2011 Analyze findings, strategize communications o April-August/November 2011 Communicate and Educate Commissioners requested details of preliminary implementation information be emailed to them before next meeting. 4. PURPOSE, ROLE and RESPONSIBILIITES of the COMMISSION Brokke gave a brief overview of the purpose, role and responsibilities of a Roseville Parks and Recreation Commissioner. A copy of the power point presentation was sent to all commissioners following the retreat. 5. TOUR of PARK SITES The original parks and facilities tour was shortened due to discussions on the Master Plan taking longer than planned. Commissioners visited Pocahontas, Rosebrook, Oasis and Autumn Grove Parks to view areas first hand and review concept plans for these areas. Meeting adjourned at 2:30 pm Respectfully Submitted, Jill Anfang, Assistant Director
