Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 2,2013 Page 13 program, opining that this information could be utilized in Roseville rather than recreating it. Regarding the position itself, Councilmember Laliberte opined that the City had a huge asset in its volunteer pool; but needed to define how best to effectively and continue to interest those volunteers and respect their time and tal- ents. Councilmember Laliberte expressed her interest in an Intern position versus a permanent employee to be brought in as a project manager to develop the intake process, determine the level of competency and any needed confidentiality of that volunteer pool; and then finding the right fit for those individual volunteers. Councilmember Laliberte opined that this effort should be done on a citywide level based on the project perspectives, and not limited to parks, which will sub- sequently be crafted to benefit parks. Councilmember Laliberte opined that other departments would have different considerations, and expressed her preference for a citywide process to make it work effectively for all departments. Councilmember Etten spoke in support of a full-time position for a variety of rea- sons. Councilmember Etten expressed his belief that this is a key strategy move forward to engage the community and a one-to-one process to involve people, with few positions in the City having more contact with the public than this one. Councilmember Etten further opined that this position would not only manage current resources, but would need to work directly with other Department Heads to determine how they could best be served; as well as researching other commu- nities using a full-time volunteer coordinator versus creating a pilot program or at- tempting to operate out of a vacuum. Councilmember Etten opined that a job de- scription did not need to be recreated, since there were various models already available based on that research. Councilmember Etten also noted the amount of time the position would require making community connections and working with various civic, school, and community organizations in order to serve as the contact point for other volunteer organizations and become a community resource. Councilmember Etten noted the need for this position to build relationships with the public and volunteers, and with a full-time schedule, it would allow more of a connection, including evening events and activities as applicable. Councilmember Etten noted the huge need coming up for the Parks Renewal Pro- gram and natural resources efforts, as well as extra care of park facilities when built, expressing hope that this position could bring active neighborhood groups to the next level of volunteering through coordination. In reviewing the volunteer needs of other depaitnuents, Councilmember Etten noted the need for this position to assist with those community events (e.g. Police Night to Unite or Fire Station Grand Opening) to coordinate volunteers rather than having full-time staff work extensively beyond an advisory or public relations capacity. Councilmember Etten opined that, over time, this position would save the City money and provide much more for citizens in comparison to and justifying tax
