The Current Master Plan (adopted in 2010) has updated Goals and Policies. The intent at the time of the Master Plan was that the new Goals and Policies would replace the outdated information in the Comprehensive Plan. The update to the Comprehensive plan has not been completed to date. The commission discussed reviewing the Master Plan’s Goals and Policies to ensure they are still relevant – prior to updating them in the Comprehensive Plan. CONSIDER POLLINATOR FRIENDLY CITY RESOLUTION PROPOSAL 5. Chair Gelbach presented the updated Pollinator Friendly City resolution. One line was added to the resolution that addressed the suggestion from the April 4, 2017 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting to include a list of pollinator friendly plants. The Commission agreed to present the updated resolution at the next joint Parks and Recreation Commission/City Council meeting. CEDARHOLM COMMUNITY BUILD REPLACEMENT UPDATE 6. Staff provided an overview of the Community Building process and presented the renderings that were reviewed at the April 24, 2017 City Council Meeting. All options have roofs that are approximately 20 ft. high. The difference between rendering #2A and #2B is the arbor vs. hard roof. The guidance of the City Council at the April 24, 2017 meeting was that they preferred option #2B. Staff will provide an update on the Cedarholm Community Building to the City Council on June 5, 2017. The Commission discussed that the building looks very nice and will be a destination location for the Community. Commissioner Stoner relayed that he believes the architect did a good job of following the Advisory Team Report by creating a building that does not look like a park building - but does fit into the park system. DISCUSS AND PREPARE FOR JOINT MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL 7. Brokke provided a template of possible topics to discuss at the joint meeting with the City Council on Monday, June 19, 2017. Vice-Chair O’Brien suggested the addition of the Deer Reduction Program to the “Work plan items for the upcoming year” section. Commissioner Bole questioned what it would take to get an annual reduction effort. Brokke suggested that would be a good topic to discuss at the joint meeting with the City Council. The Commission discussed roles and items to include when meeting with the City Council. Specifically, they agreed to focus on Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), the Pollinator Friendly Resolution, and Roseville’s Deer Reduction Program as “upcoming 2017 topics”. Commissioner Hoag asked if finances should be included as part of the Cedarholm Community Building update. Brokke stated that at this point it is too soon to have a financial discussion, as we do not have all of the necessary information available.
