<br />Commissioner A. Arneson joined the meeting and suggested promoting the natural resources <br />management volunteer opportunities at Roseville Area High School. <br /> <br />The Commission expressed gratitude to the staff for their efforts on the natural resources in the city <br />parks and discussed potential future natural resources projects. <br /> <br />b) JOINT MEETING DEBRIEF <br />The Commission discussed the joint meeting with the City Council regarding the proposed <br />community center. It was noted that the Commission felt the idea of a community center falls <br />outside its purview. Additionally, it was mentioned that it is unclear exactly what amenities <br />community members are seeking when they express interest in a community center. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brown inquired about the data collected regarding a community center from the <br />Envision Roseville survey. Staff indicated that while the idea of a community center was mentioned <br />by survey respondents, there was no clear anecdotal evidence of a consensus among them requesting <br />a community center. <br /> <br />The Commission then discussed how to move forward with the feedback received on the community <br />center. <br /> <br />Chair Matts-Benson suggested that a productive next step could be to prioritize items from the <br />SWOT analysis, as recommended by City Council member Etten. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed to bring 3 to 5 goals identified in the SWOT analysis, or potential projects, <br />to prioritize as objectives for the next year to the next Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. <br /> <br />5.
