Commissioner Doneen noted that it was interesting to see the difference in ranking trail and pathway priorities based on two different sets of criteria; with both groups in support of trails on County Road B2 and the trail (shoulder) connection west of Cleveland Avenue along County Road B. Commissioner Doneen opined that overall it was a good collaborative effort and he appreciated working with the PWETC. Communication Efforts Commissioner Gelbach noted that he had met with Communications Manager Garry Bowman and Assistant Parks Director Jill Anfang, as well as attending a meeting of the Community Engagement Commission and discussions with Commissioner Gary Grefenberg of that group, and would continue to follow their meeting minutes.

Commissioner Gelbach advised that he would like the Parks & Recreation Commissioners to meet more often with the City Council, similar to a schedule like the Housing& Redevelopment Authority (HRA), on a quarterly basis if possible to enhance that communication and provide more timely reports. Chair Holt concurred, noting it went beyond communications, but would keep the City Council in the loop and up-to-date, as well as keeping the Commission on task as activities begin to move forward at a fast pace, allowing for course corrections as needed. Parks and Recreation Renewal Program With recent package approval by the City Council, Commissioner Stoner asked that they continue to provide feedback (e.g. wireless communications and access considerations) to tell the Commission their areas of interest. http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/Archive.aspx?AMID=&Type=&ADID=1785&PREVIEW=YES
