Commissioners Botzek and Boulton requested that their names be added to the goal: "Support and grow the Roseville Central Park Foundation, Friends of Roseville Parks, and Friends of the OVAL in their work to enhance the Roseville Parks and Recreation System." The Commission discussed the roles of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the Parks and Recreation department, and how these principles support the chosen goals and initiatives. Commissioner Harris requested to be added to any goals related to natural resources. d) MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS CENTER UPDATE The City issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to architecture firms to evaluate the condition of the current facilities and explore potential ways to better utilize them. This effort aims to mitigate the impact of not having funding for the license center and wellness studio. The architect who completed the original campus master plan redesign, BKV Group, was selected for the project. It is anticipated that they will provide a report to the City Council in May 2025. 5.
