2.05 Highlight ways in which external changes (transportation, development, and socio-economic) will influence the
<br />direction of the park and recreation system, using the filter of information gained during the first three tasks of
<br />this stage of the work. External changes and their impacts on parks will be described in Memorandum #4.
<br />2.06 Review current maintenance and operations practices related to park facilities, including equipment and staffing
<br />used in maintenance and operations. Summarize maintenance and operations practices in Memorandum #5.
<br />Recommendation for adjustment to these practices will be developed in Part Two of the planning process—
<br />when a broader understanding of the direction of the park system is defined.
<br />2.07 Compare the level of service and standards for Roseville's park system features, amenities, facilities, and
<br />services using a baseline of the current city park system standards, with comparisons to both accepted national
<br />standards and peer communities. Compare park fees and revenue structures of Roseville's park system to other
<br />peer communities. Evaluate deficiencies and highlight areas of significant difference, identify challenges and
<br />potential opportunities based on the comparison, and document findings in Technical Memorandum #6.
<br />2.08 Identify current Roseville park system standards for facilities and system components based on discussions with
<br />city staff and existing documentation of standards. Evaluate existing park and recreation system features,
<br />amenities, and services as a comparison to peer communities and national standards; identify challenges and
<br />potentials related to the comparison and summarize findings in Memorandum #7.
<br />2.09 Research nationwide trends in park systems, services, and facilities, as well as practices related to maintenance
<br />and operations, design and construction delivery strategies, environmental stewardship, capital and operations
<br />funding, partnering, sustainability, energy use (or energy development), and other innovations. Summarize
<br />these trends in narrative form and in a comparative matrix in Memorandum #8.
<br />2.10 Identify park and recreation system program needs based on anticipated demographic, economic, and sociologic
<br />changes (as documented in the city's updated Comprehensive Plan and through review of contemporary
<br />journals and scholarly research dealing with these kinds of changes). Findings will be demonstrated in
<br />Memorandum #9.
<br />2.11 Review memoranda with city staff, and make adjustments prior to the city's distribution to the PARMPUT.
<br />2.12 Conduct PARMPUT Planning Session 1 to review findings of Stage Two work completed through the previous
<br />tasks, and to begin framing broad ideas related to vision for the park and recreation system. We envision this
<br />session to be the first of the intensive, day-long planning sessions.
<br />2.13 Frame a broad vision for the park and recreation system, including active recreation facilities, special community
<br />facilities and features, open space, culture, historic features, preservation and conservation, public art, trails,
<br />and bikeways. The vision will be articulated in both narrative and graphic form, and will be first framed in a
<br />draft form for review by the PARMPUT.
<br />2.14 Conduct PARMPUT Planning Session 2 to review the draft vision, noting where the vision is appropriately
<br />directed, and importantly, areas where the draft vision fails to reach the community's desires, and make
<br />adjustments to the draft vision. We will extend this review into a discussion about the park system components
<br />and how they can help meet the community's park goals and desires.
<br />2.15 Demonstrate the ways in which the park system as a whole and individual park system components fulfill the
<br />community's goals and desires by focusing the vision its particular changes, highlights, or features. Augment the
<br />broad vision with these demonstrations, in both narrative and graphic format.
<br />2.16 Review the augmented vision with the PARMPUT, again noting areas where it meets the community's goals or
<br />areas where more work is required.
<br />2.17 Conduct Community Meeting #2 to share the vision (and work completed to date in summary form) with the
<br />community. This meeting, like other community workshops, is less about presentation than interaction. The
