Congratulations Gale! COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMMITTEE UPDATE 5. Jeff Johnson reported back to the Commission on recent Comp Plan Committee activity. The Parks and Recreation component of the Comp Plan has minimal changes. Much of the detail has been left to future Parks and Recreation Master Planning efforts and the System Plan Updates. The Comp Plan is to be adopted by the Council by the end of the year. ARCHERY RANGE PRESENTATION 6. Brent Huberty and Todd Anderson, Roseville residents and archery enthusiasts, were present to share information on archery facilities for future consideration in Roseville. Brent talked to the Commission about three Archery Facility scenarios.  Target Range ~ Lowest cost, smallest land requirements, least maintenance  Archery Park ~ Accommodates a greater variety of archers, larger land requirements, more costly to build and maintain.  Archery Trail ~ Focused on the bowhunter, requires 30-40 acres of land and is the most costly to build, maintenance similar to the Archery Park. Todd Anderson was present to support Brent’s presentation and initiative. Todd sees archery as a lifelong activity that involves the family as well as individual participants. Huberty’s main objective in presenting to the Commission was to make people aware that there is an interest in archery in our community and to learn what the process was for making a request/recommendation for additions to the parks and recreation system. Discussions followed in regards to the possibility of involving the school district as a partner to maximize use and possibly access land. Brokke and the Commission talked in regards to the timing of this presentation as we begin to assess our community resources and pursue a system-wide Master Planning process. PATHWAY COMMITTEE UPDATE 7. Sarah Brodt Lenz, the Commission representative to the committee, was not able to attend the recent Community Open House. She did report that committee members are working on ranking the 32 pathway projects.
