Roseville 2012 -2016 Parks and Recreation Renewal Program Public engagement strategy Page 2 Notification of meetings and other outreach methods The city's ordinances relating to public notice of meetings should be followed, even though this is not a formal meeting of any board or commission. At a minimum, Notices should be sent to properties within 500 feet (Per City Code Title 1 Administration Chapter 108) of a park specifically inviting residents to participate in concept /master plan meetings. The nature of some park improvements and direction offered in the Master Plan suggest that those parks may have a broader audience (that is, the park's constituency is not neighborhood- based), in which case the notification area may be larger. It is not the intention to set parks apart from the neighborhood in this process; hen community -level improvements are included in a park, balance must be achieve 'design of the improvements, and this is best achieved by drawing representation from all of tlA fiJ,s constituencies. In addition to residents, some parks may have unique Parks stakeholder or special interest groups, if kno understand the group's composition, should also'�� is specific parks.

The city's planning staff should be contacted to make certain the banners or signs would not violate an ordinance (the ordinance controls sign materials, precludes the use of banners and mobile signs, and limits placement of temporary signs to 60 days). A variance to the ordinance could be pursued to allow signs of the types described to be used and placed at a park for more than 60 days.
