required before that occursand to date;no properties have reverted to the city for maintenance. The intent of this effort (in working with our volunteers) from the beginning was to create a VolunteerStewardship Network (Network)made up of staff, a contract ecologist and volunteers(see enclosed organizational chart).Volunteer leadership is a big part of the Network(see enclosed outlineand constellation map).Itincludes training, assistance and empowerment to volunteers tohelp maintain their parks in a Natural Resources sense. The Program has been very successful to this point with tremendous volunteers. The ongoing volunteer projects occurring on the third Saturday of the month have been aneffectivepart of this program. We will soon beenteringthenext phase of thecity being responsible for the Program maintenance. It is now time to focus on the Network and determine what city needs are necessary in orderto maintain the parks as envisioned with the Program. Staff will be prepared to review theProgram and Networkas initially outlined as well ascurrentstatusand upcoming plans. Requested Commission Action:Hear presentation, discuss and brainstorm ideas tohelp move the Program and Stewardship Networkforward. 6.Park Dedication Annual RateReview This item is an effort to maintain a consistent periodic review of the Park Dedication rates. The most recent increasefor the residential ratewaseffective January 1, 2017 when the rateincreasedfrom $3,500per unitto $4,000per unit. Themost recent increase for the non-residential ratewas effective January 1, 2017 when the rate increasedfrom 7% of FMV to 10% of FMV. Please keep in mind that the basis for Park Dedication relatesto the connectionand needs ofthe Roseville Park and Recreation SystemMaster Plan and Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Enclosed is anupdated survey of ratesin surrounding metropolitan communities for comparison purposes only. Highlighted areas indicate the changes from year to year. The Commission typically reviews the Park Dedication rates annually in order to stay current. Given a relatively recent rate increase and the appearance of being in line with other communities, it may be appropriate to consider remainingthe same in 2018/19. Requested Action: Discuss and consider a recommendation on the Park Dedication rates.
