Jill Anfang briefed the Commission on recent department operations and upcoming and recently hosted events. PARK DEDICATION FEE DISCUSSION 4. Chad Hofmeister, University of Minnesota student intern, recently updated the Comparative Park Dedication Data original compiled by Commissioner Johnson in late 2006 and reported on his findings. In general, there was little change between the two reports. The comparison report did show that the average residential park dedication fee for all communities contacted was $3463 while comparable communities to Roseville average $2900. Commission Discussion followed. Commissioners requested the addition of information from New Brighton, and an estimate of the amount of park dedication fees collected in the last year. Commissioners were reminded that Roseville, being a community with minimal open development opportunities, uses a park dedication trigger of subdivision, or replatting, as the criteria for park dedication fees for a redevelopment. Motion by Willmus, second by Ristow, to recommend to the City Council a $1000 increase in the Roseville Residential Unit Fee to become a $3000 Residential Unit Park Dedication Fee. Motion Passed Unanimously. KIWANIS PARTNERSHIP at the MURIEL SAHLIN ARBORETUM 5. Anfang updated Commissioners on the proposed development project by the North Suburban St. Paul Kiwanis at the Central Park Muriel Sahlin Arboretum. The Kiwanis are committed to building a Pergola on the Arboretum Grounds. This structure is part of the site master plan and will be a much appreciated and enjoyed addition to the facility. Motion by Ristow, second by Kamrath, to recommend to the City Council the acceptance of the pledged donation by the North Suburban St. Paul Kiwanis to build a pergola at the Central Park Muriel Sahlin Arboretum. Motion Passed Unanimously. Pederson abstained from voting as a member of the Central park Foundation. HANC PLANNING COMMITTEE UPDATE 6.

A subject of interest at recent meetings has been the need for participation by the schools at HANC to insure its viability and the need for HANC to fit into the learning goals of the schools.
