Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 22,2013 Page 18 Councilmember Etten also noted the limited staff resources available to produce a specific and finite list, recognizing the components that had been out there for some time without any action, including changes to existing parks as well as stand-along projects and the many pieces requiring more focus. Having service on some of those committees, as well as the Parks & Recreation Commission, Councilmember Etten noted the need to focus and prioritize new ideas and exist- ing needs, and include a blend of what the City needed and the vision of the Mas- ter Planning process for natural spaces. Councilmember Etten noted that staff was tapped out, and were tapped out before the Master Planning process; and needed outside assistance in accomplishing the vision of the community, using a consultant who would work with staff and citizens in realizing their wishes, and resulting in an RFP format. Councilmember Etten noted that this represented $46,200.00 out of the $1.5 million budget. Councilmember McGehee expressed her support of this request; and her apprecia- tion for Councilmember Etten's comments; opining that it provided good bang for the bucks with the natural resources component. Mr. Brokke noted that staff continued to receive significant input from Roseville residents, which was appreciated. Regarding the Buckthorn eradication issues, Mr. Brokke noted that this had been and continued to be a major topic in the City for a number of years and would continue to be an element of this effort. Mr. Brokke recognized the work at the Langton Lake Park through Mr. Evenson's ef- forts; and significant impacts made to-date. Etten moved, McGehee seconded, authorization of a Professional Services Agreement (Attachment A) with Stantec, Inc. for services as referenced in the pre-award document for delivery of the natural resource project identification and design portion of the Parks and Recreation Renewal Program, as outlined in the RCA, at a cost not to exceed $46,200.00, to be funded from the Park and Recrea- tion Renewal Program Budget; and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to execute the documents;pending final review and approval by the City Attorney. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Etten; and Willmus; Nays: None. c. Reconsideration of Website Vendor Approval; Requested by Councilmember McGehee Councilmember McGehee noted that she had voted in support at last week's meeting for approval of a website vendor; however, realized that she would now like to change that vote; and would prefer to tie the website design into a larger discussion of software currently used in-house by departments, and the need for those programs to talk to each other; and also to provide a data structure for a search engine to be able to use them effectively.
