<br /> <br /> <br />The direction of the conversations included; <br /> <br />Do we look at Cedarholm as an asset that should be on the same level as the rest of the park <br />o <br />system? <br /> <br />How long can we go and accept that the Clubhouse & Shop are adequate, when do we begin <br />o <br />to look ahead & work to improve this community asset? <br /> <br />Shouldn’t we be looking at the Community and its Park System as a whole with unique <br />o <br />features and special assets? <br /> <br />Cedarholm is an asset that should be invested in. <br /> <br /> <br />The Finance Committee asked about a Financial Feasibility Study for Cedarholm. Brokke shared a <br />recent study from Minneapolis Golf Courses. Based on what staff has seen in reports done for other <br />local golf courses, staff questions the return/value of investing in a feasibility study. <br /> <br /> POWERPOINT VIRTUAL TOUR OF RENEWAL PROGRAM PROJECTS <br />8. <br />Staff shared a PowerPoint “tour” of Renewal Program Projects completed to date, currently under <br />construction and those scheduled to be completed in the coming months. The visual slides demonstrated the <br />expanse of work that has taken place in the parks over the past 15 months. <br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br />9. <br />Anfang reported that staff are making the transition from Summer to Fall; <br /> <br /> <br />30 kids are still taking part in summer Recreation programs at Autumn Grove. The Summer <br />Spectacular Program is one of the only opportunities in the area for recreation activities the week <br />before Labor Day. <br /> <br /> <br />Fall Soccer is about to begin. 270 kids are playing on 20 teams with over 40 coaches. Some teams <br />have already begun practicing. Games begin after Labor Day. <br /> <br /> <br />The Park Buildings continue to be busy. There are multiple reservations most weekend days <br />throughout the fall. <br /> <br /> <br />The Roseville Youth Football Association played their opening week games at Rosebrook Park. The <br />park was crazy busy with young players, siblings at the playground and family & friends along the <br />sidelines cheering the kids on. <br /> <br /> <br />Parks & Recreation Facebook page “likes” have increased by over 10% in the past 8 weeks. <br />Brokke updated the Commission on the Fairview Fire Station. The building is currently used for Parks & <br />Recreation equipment & supplies storage. There has been some interest by developers to purchase the <br />property. Because of this, staff are exploring options for storage for Recreation programs, Parks & <br />Recreation equipment, Skating Center equipment, as well as Public Works vehicles and equipment. <br /> <br />Brokke also commented on the heavy use of the park system over the summer, it appears that use has <br />increased since the Renewal Program Projects have been completed. Good use is good for the parks. <br /> <br /> OTHER <br />10. <br />nd <br /> <br /> <br />FORParks Tapped & Uncorked event is October 2 at the OVAL.
