secure work zone. This concern was identified during the first meeting of the clarification phase. It was not directly considered during the development of LHBs work plan, but accommodation of park programs during renewal efforts is a task that fits the concept planning stage. We will meet with staff(using "office hours" already dedicated as a value-added element of our work)to review park plans as they are conceived,frame options for accommodating park programs, and determine an optimal solution to be carried forward to the final design/construction phase. Identified Risk 5: Slow progress toward agreement on a concept plan Significant public engagement during the Master Plan process allowed the city to move forward with confidence toward renewal. Still, LHB believes that an interested public will become more active at the time when real change will be considered for their park. While we intend a public engagement process that encourages broad and active participation,we also intend to use the Master Plan (as the adopted policy of the City of Roseville) and its various components as the starting points for discussions with parks stakeholders. We're not starting over; it's a process of refinement and, if we're intending the Master Plan as a guide, citizens need to be apprised of its key directions as they share ideas and concerns during the park concept planning process. To aid in the public's understanding of the concept planning process,the Solution Strategy: process of engaging the community and parks stakeholders will include a review of the key directions of the Master Plan at the outset of the park concept planning process (with a consistent message conveyed to the community and parks stakeholders for each park). We will demonstrate the importance of a concept plan relative to the Master Plan by: reviewing the concept planning process and their role in that process; clefiningthe timeframe for their input; and framing the bounds of decision-making for their participation. By carefully articulating HOW the public is involved, we believe the process of arriving at a decision point can be better accommodated—simply, the public is made aware of the key role they play, and our experience suggests they respond appropriately with sound direction for our work to progress.
