Introduction <br />With lots of help from staff, this primer has been compiled by sitting <br />commissioners who wish they hadsomething likeit when first starting out. This is <br />the essential stuff that nobody tells you outright, or if they did, you may have <br />missed it due to information overload. <br />New Parksand Recreationcommissioners face a steep learning curve during <br />their first yearand our hope is to help you familiarize the concepts and terms <br />you’ll hear discussed. <br />What’s ourrole? <br />Feeling a little adrift when first starting is a given. We all did. Here are some initial <br />points to consider as members of the Parks and Recreation Commission: <br />We serve! <br />Parks and Recreation Commissioners serve the public, the citizens of <br />Roseville, Roseville businesses, visitors to Roseville and we serve anyone <br />using the parks, programs, facilities and natural resourcesin the Roseville <br />community. <br />There are ten of us, including a non-voting youth representative (volunteers <br />all)whohave been appointed to serve in an advisory capacity to the mayor, <br />City Council, and Parks and Recreation staff (mostly Lonnie) regarding <br />Roseville Parks and Recreation matters. <br />We rely on others! <br />We rely entirely on staff (and each other) to run the system, provide <br />information, explain what we are supposed to know, outline key issues, stay <br />abreast of all upcoming matters and report to the City Council on a regular <br />basis.We rely on citizens to give us feedback. <br />We interact with people! <br />Our part is to disperse into the community, listen and talk to residents and key <br />stakeholders, relay all relevant information to staff, advise and support the <br />Parks and Recreation staff in whatever waywe can. <br />We volunteer! <br />This is a volunteer position. Everyone has different demands on their time. So, <br />start where you are, use the gifts you have, and do what you can. <br />We appreciate your energy, commitment and input! <br />2 <br /> <br />
