53Commissioner Hoag questioned if it is a possibility to negotiate the buildout of a park with the developing 54contractor. Brokke explained that the Roseville Parks and Recreation Department does not negotiate Park 55Dedication. However, an example of land dedication where the developer worked with the city to develop a 56park would be Applewood Park and Overlook. 57 58Vice-Chair O’Brien questioned the additional language that was added. Specifically, the addition of the 59sidewalks,pathways and trails reference concerns her, as it is too broad. 60 61Commissioner Stoner stated that he believes that the addition of trails is a good thing and could assist with 62the connection of parks and trails in the city. 63 64Brokke reiterated that trails are a high priority in the community. However, as Park Dedication is 65unpredictable you would want to be careful on how much to expand the ordinance, as the fund may be 66stretched too thin. 67 68Commissioner Baggenstoss and Chair Gelbach relayed that they have reservations about expanding the 69existing language and potentially creatingconflictbetween multiple departments over the funds. 70 71Commissioner Baggenstoss requested information on how the trails are currently funded in Roseville. 72Brokke answeredthat there is a pathway fund managed by Public Works. However, the fund may not be 73funded to the level needed. 74 75Commissioner Hoag askedwhere the changes are at in the process. Brokke confirmedthat they are the 76recommendations provided by the Consultant and have not been solidified. Commissioner Hoag agreed that 77limiting the options and thatkeeping Park Dedication simple is the best option. 78 79Vice-ChairO’Brien questioned what the next step would be to address the Commissions concerns with the 80Consultants Proposals. Should the concerns be voiced to the City Council? 81 82Commissioner Stoner revisited his position about the addition of trails as a positive. He stated that after the 83discussion he does not believe that trails should be added as an option for Park Dedication monies. 84 85Chair Gelbach reiterated that he was concerned about the changes. Commissioner Baggenstoss added that 86opening up the language makes the ordinance no longer a guiding principle. 87 88Commissioner Baggenstoss inquired about the removal of the 10% and 5%. The Commission agreed that 89the specific landdedication percentages need to be included and that the proposed language needs to be 90narrower and less open to negotiation. 91 92ii.Parks and Recreation Section 93Currently the Parks, Open Space and Recreation section of the Comprehensive Plan contains: 94Introduction 95Goals and policies 96Park classification system 97Designations of individual parks, open spaces and recreational facilities 98Issues and potential improvements 99 100The Current Master Plan (adopted in 2010) has updated Goals and Policies.
