Brokke addressed questions regarding the levels of service and how costs for specific service levels will be identified. In general, the process for identifying levels of service is currently a work-in-progress. Brokke also spoke about volunteer experiences in Roseville and the cost of maximizing volunteer services. Willmus and Etten requested staff to bring back future versions of the budget process. Ristow added the need to find ways to raise new monies and possibly look into the possibilities of a local sales tax. PARKS and RECREATION MASTER PLAN UPDATE 6. Vision boards are on display at all Parks and Recreation facilities The trails and parks constellation map is included in your packet. This map is a way of organizing the Parks and Recreation System. The Pathway Master Plan is being overlaid with the constellation concept Imagine Roseville 2025 is acting as an overlay and guide for the overall Master Plan Current amenities and components are identified within the constellations as well as identifying future planning The thought is that each constellation does not necessarily need to have identical components The entire parks and recreation system will encompass all the constellations and community sectors The constellation concept is a way to organize the system and was devised through the planning process’ community input initiatives Constellations “J” and “K” have been recognized as sections of the community that lack green space, open space and public space Remnant spaces could be a way to add park spaces in this area o We also need to work with adjacent communities on possible partnerships o Community Meeting # 3 will focus on Programs, Priorities and Policies Wednesday, April 21 ~ 7:00-9:30pm at the Roseville Skating Center rd Jacobson and Brokke spoke about an upcoming event at RAHS. During the 3 week in May students in RAHS “advisory period” will complete Master Plan surveys – this is a great opportunity to gather information from current parks and recreation facility users and program participants as well as insight from the next generation of potential Roseville homeowners and citizens. Jacobson will work with staff to facilitate the inclusion of a master planning survey at RAHS. DIRECTORS REPORT 7. The request to install a communication tower in Acorn Park has been denied and will not be constructed in the park. This action provides the City with time to develop a policy on commercial enterprise on public property. As a result of the pool of applicants (which included 9 very qualified candidates for 2 positions) for the recent open parks and recreation commission seats the Council has inquired into possibly expanding the size of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Willmus mentioned that the meeting site will make it difficult to accommodate a larger o commission and make it hard to have a good discussion with the larger group. Adding 2 or 3 members to a commission that already has 10 members will make it harder on everyone Many commissioners commented to the fact that this was an unusual year for Parks and o Recreation commission applicants Etten is concerned that expanding the size of the commission could result in a weakened pool o Pederson reminded everyone that term limits will lead to commissioner turnover and provide o opportunities for those wanting to be involved in the future Jacobson suggested providing commission applicants with other opportunities outside of the o commission
