2 I met Lonnie Brokke at an event held at Applewood Park and he showed me the extensive plans for the park system renovation. I mentioned to him that I’d like to get involved and at a later meeting he suggested applying to the commission. Since we have a lot of appreciation an d involvement with Parks and Rec, I’d be honored to be able to give back to the program. I feel like I could valuable perspective of a young family in Roseville. I also enjoy interacting with people and hearing their opinions. As an engineer I also bring a strong analytical ethic an d enjoy thoroughly understanding issues at hand. These traits ensure I bring valuable input to any discussion. What is your view of the role of this Commission/ Board?: The role of the commission is simple: listen to and solicit the concerns of the population. On any given issue people will fall in support or opposition, and the commission nee ds to strongly consider the opposition when listening to what supporters want. Citizens want more than anything to know how their money is being spent and to have a voice for their desires for the community. If I were appointed, a large focus of my term would be com munity interaction. The master plan fiscal allocations definitely caused some tension within the community. There is a lot of opportunity to inform the community about all the positives the master plan will create that will do a lot to reduce their concerns. Using both new and old met hods we can reach out to Roseville and bring people together in support of the parks and recreation system. Further, for this term, I believe the role of the commission is to monitor the progress of the master plan and communicate that information to concerned citizens.
