ROLL CALL /PUBLIC COMMENT <br />Tom Turba spoke to the Commission on behalf of the Friends of Lexington Park. <br />The Friends of Lexington Park (FLP) are interested in raising money to add a climbing feature <br />(rock/boulder) for older children and teens in Lexington Park. To date, FLP has raised $14,000 and <br />looks to raise the additional funds needed to purchase a play feature of this type. A donor has come <br />forward and committed to matching funds in an effort to help the Friends of Lexington Park meet <br />their goal. <br />The Friends of Lexington Park hope this project can be completed with the Renewal Program <br />projects taking place in the park this summer. <br />Tom Turba is managing the fund raising efforts and suggested that community members interested <br />in contributing to this project contact him directly at TNTurba @comcast.net. <br />Lonnie Brokke thanked Tom and the Friends of Lexington Park for their longtime support of <br />Lexington Park. <br />3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — FEBRUARY 6, 2014 MEETING <br />Commission Recommendation: <br />Minutes for the February 6, 2014 meeting were approved unanimously. <br />4. PARK BOARD DISCUSSION <br />Brokke updated the Commission on the latest legal information on the Park Board. Because <br />Roseville is a Plan B City, a City Manager form of Government; it is not eligible for Park Board <br />status without Legislative action. Currently the City Council cannot relinquish authority of parks <br />and recreation to another group. <br />Commissioners inquired into how the HRA came to be; the HRA was approved through the <br />legislature. <br />• Commissioners voiced their interest in knowing more about the process the HRA went <br />through to achieve board status — when did this take place, how extensive was the <br />effort... What would the process look like? <br />• Commissioners questioned whether they, as a group, are interested in moving forward in <br />support of a park board. <br />• D. Holt commented on how the current Commission acts more like a Board than a <br />Commission. <br />• Stoner recognized that we are about a year out on the legislative timeline for an <br />action like this. <br />
