Commissioner Stark mentioned that it would not be wise to halt the planning process at this point. It is important to keep the process moving forward and give people something to look at and make informed decisions. Commissioner Willmus commented that there is a concern that the Master Planning process and project implementation be a stand-alone initiative and that it not be combined with other City projects. Momentum with parks and recreation has been established and to add other projects on would be a concern. Commission Recommendation: Motion by Pederson to recommend that the master plan request for proposals (RFP) as presented be moved forward to the City Council as presented. Second by Brodt Lenz. Motion passed unanimously. 5. CHANGE NOVEMBER MEETING DATE Commissioners recommended moving the November meeting (if a meeting is needed) to November 3, 2008 due to the regular meeting date falling on Election Day. Commission Recommendation: Motion made to move the November Parks & Recreation Commission meeting to Monday, November 3, if needed. Motion passed unanimously. 6. PARK DEDICATION RATE DISCUSSION In 2007 the Commission conducted an extensive discussion of the Park Dedication Rates at that time. The rates were changed to bring them in line with rates in other like communities. Commission Recommendation: Motion made by Willmus to leave the park dedication rates as they are currently and revisits the park dedication rates in October 2009. Second by Pederson. Motion passed unanimously. 7. DIRECTORS REPORT Brokke briefed the Commission on the Arena Project. • The Ice was in and the arena was open for skating on October 1. • Contractors continue to work on the roof -top units. • The City of Roseville Website offers geothermal project time lapse video. Brokke showed the Commission 2 videos, one of the concrete pour and one of the concrete pier removal — the 160 piers were removed by Skating Center staff at a savings of $800/pier. • The Best Value Procurement Method served the City and Parks and Recreation well. The method led to the project being discussed and planned up -front by all involved. • Few issues remain to -date i. North Parking Lot Lighting is being replaced at an additional cost ii. Floor required additional excavating and sand fill iii. Players boxes were originally pulled from the project as a cost savings. Skating Center staff completed the project at a $45,000 savings. • Commissioner Stark mentioned that the positive status of this project is a tribute to the Parks and Recreation Staff. Archery Range Tour has been challenging to schedule, unfortunately Commissioner calendars have not coordinated for a group tour.
