<br />August 22 Council meeting to have preliminary information of needs and priorities. The <br />Work Group is also looking to schedule a field trip in the near future to visit Roseville <br />parks and look into the invasive species present. <br /> <br />Jason Etten talked about the level of community input on the preservation and <br />o <br />improvements proposal. <br /> <br />45 people attended the July 28 Community Meeting to review, discuss and <br />o <br />comment on the current proposal. Hundreds of people have taken part in the <br />Discover Your Parks Constellation Tour and have had an opportunity to talk <br />first hand with staff, commissioners and community volunteers on the Master <br />Plan and the proposal to preserve and improve the parks and recreation <br />system. <br /> <br />Erin Azer recommended holding planning meeting specifically for the Southwest Sector <br />o <br />sighting the need for residents to voice their ideas and have a real discussion from <br />residents from across the sector as to the best way of addressing the need for park <br />amenities in the area. <br /> <br />Lee Diedrick agreed with Erin and added that she felt the Southwest Sector needed more <br />o <br />directed time to discuss options for this area. <br /> <br />Lonnie Brokke added that there will definitely be community meetings for all projects <br />o <br />and acquisitions once there is a more concrete direction. <br /> <br />Azer also added that sometimes you need to be creative and suggested the SW residents <br />o <br />be creative as well as community planners and community volunteers. Azer also <br />suggested that the plan look at starting with trail additions in SW Roseville in an effort to <br />begin to balance some of the discrepancies in park amenities. <br /> <br />Doneen asked that the park-school concept be considered in the first phase rather than <br />o <br />waiting until step 2. He also recommended spending time with the school district on <br />discussing opportunities at Fairview and Parkview. <br /> <br />Mary Holt suggested looking into partnering with the schools on a program like “pennies <br />o <br />for parks” that might help financially support the school-park concept at Fairview and <br />Parkview. <br /> <br />Diedrick reminded everyone that the community sees the replacement of the boardwalk at <br />o <br />HANC as a priority. <br />th <br /> <br />Gale Pederson commented on the fact that none of the groups at the July 28 meeting had <br />o <br />any suggestions for items that should not be included on the proposal or that any of the <br />projects should be considered at a lower priority. <br /> <br />Doneen cautioned that we need to think about how we maintain new additions to the <br />o <br />parks and recreation system and asked that all involved make sure there is a long-term <br />vision on how we will maintain the parks and recreation system. That vision for future <br />maintenance needs to be shared with and discussed with the Council. <br /> <br />Etten asked that the phase one proposal include concept planning for a community center. <br />o <br /> <br />Pederson suggested beginning the community center planning with a review of previous <br />o <br />community center planning processes and recommendations. <br /> <br />Commission Recommendation: <br /> <br />Motion by Pederson: Based on extensive community input and community planning the <br />Parks & Recreation Commission recommends the City Council approve the framework for <br />phase one of the Master Plan implementation including, the method, approach and dollar <br />24 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
