Scott talked through the City Policy on electronic Communications section by section. In essence, wherever the policy refers to Council Members this also includes commissioners and wherever the policy refers to the City Manager these standards apply to the associated Department Head. The guiding principle throughout the policy is that Council Members and Commissioners are not to try and forge a majority outside of a meeting and their actions are not to try and avoid public discussions. LEADERSHIP ST. PAUL PRESENTATION ON VOLUNTEERS 5. Jill Anfang provided the commission with a final report on the work of the Leadership St. Paul team that worked with staff to enhance the Parks and Recreation volunteer program. The Leadership St. Paul initiative was to create tools Parks and Recreation staff can use to better recruit, retain, record and recognize local volunteers. The LSP team developed a newsletter template that will be used to recognize volunteer involvement, recruit volunteers and promote the good work of our volunteer community. This team also worked with staff to develop a tracking and recording database that will help staff quantify the time being provided for the betterment of the community. Lastly, the foundation has been set for social networking tools that can be used to recruit and inform volunteers in Roseville. Commission Comments: The recommendation was made to add a youth connection to the newsletter to recognize the work of local young people. CLEARWIRE PROPOSAL AT ACORN PARK 6. Brokke presented a proposal from Clearwire for a data network antenna in Acorn Park. The proposal called for the antenna to be added to an existing hockey light pole with the addition of a 7’x7’ piece of land adjacent to the pole for an equipment cabinet. Clearwire is scheduled to meet with the Planning Commission on November 4, 2009 to present possible site locations in Roseville. The Planning Commission could require the site be a co-location which would have significant implications for the Acorn Park site.
