Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 16, 2016 Page 19 Interim Community Development Director Collins spoke to the work she and Parks & Recreation Director Brokke were doing to incorporate the Parks Master Plan with the remainder of the comprehensive plan, including additional and on- going input being received by staff from the Metropolitan Council (e.g. climate change, equity planning, health impacts and other periphery items). Ms. Collins referenced the preliminary timeline put together by staff for discussion at future City Council meetings, with the Planning Commission scheduled for their first view of the proposed overall scope and initial drafts of Requests for Qualifica- tions (RFQ) and Requests for Proposals (RFP), and impacts based on community engagement and corresponding costs.

Councilmember Willmus spoke in support of the Imagine Roseville 2025 commu- nity visioning process and engagement models, suggesting they be incorporated in this effort as well to ensure broader input. Mayor Roe suggested incorporating the Park Master Plan process as another suc- cessful model. Councilmember Etten noted that past updates had never pushed back to the Met- ropolitan Council to look at their transit services in this area; and cited several ex- amples about the lack of transportation or connections in various areas of the community (e.g. SE Roseville). Councilmember Etten suggested it was hard to encourage immigrants to use public transportation to get to work when there was limited services and insufficient room on those buses. Councilmember Etten rec- ognized the significant population density at Rice Street and Larpenteur Avenue on all sides of the intersection. Councilmember Etten suggested identifying those
