' i ,', 1 No Public Comment 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES — NOVEMBER 7, 2007 MEETING Commission Recommendation: Minutes for the November 7, 2007 meeting were approved unanimously. Jill Anfang briefed the Commission on recent department operations and upcoming and recently hosted events. Willmus briefed Commission members on recent Comprehensive Plan Committee meetings. One of the first actions the committee has taken on is to review how the Imagine Roseville 2025 initiative pertains to the Comp Plan. 60% of the IR 2025 matrix strategies and goals are not being considered for inclusion in the Comprehensive Plan as it currently is formatted. It has been recommended by the Committee that a Community Vision chapter be added to the Comp Plan so as to include these strategies and goals and not lose this valuable community input. The main objective of the committee appears to be to drastically reduce the physical size of the Comp Plan. Initially, all visioning items that are not related to land use have been removed from the Comp Plan. Willmus has requested that many of the parks and recreation items referenced in the IR 2025 goals and strategies that have been removed from the Comp Plan be added back in. This request is being considered by the committee. 5.
