ROLL CALL /PUBLIC COMMENT <br />3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — MARCH 4 MEETING <br />Commission Recommendation: <br />Minutes for the March 4 meeting were unanimously approved with the revision of line 85 it <br />should read: Brokke spoke about a pathway along County Road B between Cleveland and <br />Highway 280 in that it is moving forward. <br />4. INTRODUCTION AND OATH OF OFFICE FOR NEW COMMISSIONER <br />Chair Holt officially did the swear -in procedure for new commissioner Terrance Newby and <br />welcomed him. Terrance and the other commissioners gave a brief background on themselves and <br />how they got involved with the Commission. <br />5. DALE STREET FIRE STATION PROPERTY PARK DEDICATION <br />Chair Holt provided a brief overview and opened up for discussion. Commission members <br />discussed recommending land versus cash for the Dale Street Fire Station redevelopment project. <br />Since the land size would be very small (.3 acres) commissioners thought that it would be best for <br />the city to accept the cash on this project. <br />Commission Recommendation: <br />Doneen moved to recommend cash of $85,000 (25 units x $3,500) be accepted in lieu of land <br />dedication. Motion passed unanimously. <br />Commissioners also said they value having sidewalks in these types of projects and it was <br />beneficial to see that some were included with the redevelopment plans. <br />6. PARK BOARD DISCUSSION <br />Members had a lengthy discussion on the establishment of a Park Board for Roseville. Chair Holt <br />stated this meeting was for discussion, with a possible recommendation by the commission at <br />their May meeting. Members received information in their packet on how the Housing and <br />Redevelopment Authority was formed and a guidance letter from City Attorney Mark Gaughan. <br />Commissioner Doneen asked "What are we trying to fix by becoming a Board ?" <br />Commissioners commented on sometimes in the past the budget has been cut by the City Council <br />which resulted in deferring park maintenance system wide. Even with a Board, the City Council <br />would still have levy authority. Some members thought having a dedicated group, like a Board, <br />would be important to ensure the Council knows the importance of having a good parks and <br />recreation system. Chair Holt said he thought the communication with the current Council has <br />been good. <br />
