8. MASTER PLAN REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) DISCUSSION Brokke talked to the Community's recognition of the need to evaluate the Parks and Recreation system as an operational guide through 2020. A system -wide Master plan will provide Roseville with a accurate, useable information that will guide future actions. Key to the Master Planning process will be extensive public involvement. The Master Plan will include land acquisitions and management, program and facility review and recommendations. The Master Plan will also review community demographics, inventory existing facilities and evaluate programs and community interests, research recreation standards, compile a community needs assessment then follow up with an action plan and implementation. The initial steps in the Master Planning process include; • Finalizing and issuing RFP • Identifying a planning firm • Identifying a steering/planning committee with technical advisory groups A current Parks and Recreation Master Plan is vital to good representation in the City Comprehensive Plan. 9.
