Mr. Aff Evv;j'soti Cil)) of Roseville Noveritber 8, 2006 Pages 3 Task 2: or First, the overall goals, an objectives including the activities, natural resource nianage-ment, educational coniponents� and feati-ires to be included in the Nature Center will need to be established dirough the Stakeholder Task Force. We blehieve that the Overall Goals and Ob r ectives Workshops will be required to achieve a unified vision for the Center, 9 Issues Workshops are also helpful in breaking down the overall vision into more nianageable tasks with the appropilatie stakeholders involved. We proplose three to our Issues Workshops: IQ Onejoint workshop o Recreation1programming C) Nature al resource enhancement 10 Maintenance facifily Issiles After these workshops �are conipleted, the design team w,111 prepare two different master plan alternatives tio be evaluated by the Stakeholder Task Force. The design altCniatives and selected plan will 'be, reviewed and discussed in separate interac,tive Technical Review Workshops. Throu 11 Ighout each workshop, meeting agendas and minittes w*Jl e prepared to document discussions and define outcomes. Task 3: Con imunity Education and Outreach In addition to the 'interested citizens and Stakeholder Task Force representatives, the community at large needs to be info nned of the process and master plan results. We propose Nvorking with the City to provide updated information on project progress via the City"s We site, FROBANC, City newsletters, and, surrounding sebools to provide coverage at the draft and final plan stages. We also propose a well advertised public open house to en gie the cotTmiunity and allow for feedback in the process. Task 4: Opinion of Probable Cost and Phasing Plans After selection, of the preferred altemative we will devellop a preliminary opinion of probable It construction cost. Recognizing that the eilliTC plan will not likely be developed at once, the master plan will pay careful attention to phasing the Nature Center improvements over a number of years as funding becomes available. "I'li�e phasing plan will also help prioritize improvements, such as prioritizing the natural resources so oxtra money doesn't need to be spent later, to control established invasive populations. This will allow the natural areas to be in better condition once trail improvements are completed. Task 5: Formal Presentations We propose to present the Draft Master Plan for review and comment to Advisory Boards, Commissions, and/or the City Council as directed by City Staff. We will also present 4he Fillat Master Plans, as diTecteld for approval. q Task 6 , Funding anid Cram Opportunities As we are experienced in l-everaging funds, for multiple park and natural resource projeds, we will identify multiple grants that the City and FROHANC can pursue to allocate money for trails, naft tral resource inanagement, and educational prograinis. We will provide figures and project costs in assisting with grant dcvelopment, ■ a ow
