Special Joint Study Session: Roseville Citizen Commission Chairs, DepartmentHeads, City Council Saturday, 02/07/04, Harriet Alexander Nature Center, 2520 North Dale Street, Roseville, MN DRAFT' Discussion Notes - Page 25 advantages in connecting neighborhoods/communities through parks and pathways, with neighbors getting to know each other, observing children, becoming familiar with the area. Ms. Pederson connected this from a public safety, recreational, housing, and communication standpoint in the global picture. Ms. Pederson advised that the Commission attempted to have a minimum of two (2) commissioners at each neighborhood event. Councilmember Maschka noted that the nature of business within the community was changing, and former civic organizations that provided service- oriented interests in the community would need replaced or institutionalized, perhaps through the development of the previously-discussed Volunteer Coordinator. Mr. Mulder concurred, questioning how communities needed to organize today, and if they needed to organize around different issues, events, or facilities (i.e., specific park areas); and how the City invested in them. Further discussion included the Human Rights aspects of where people live; how they identify their lifestyles; and related logistics; Mr. Brokke further highlighted that only 113 of the parks had Master Plans completed to-date, and there were changing trends and uses, and changing neighborhoods. � 1. { Opportunity for re-evaluation of system 2.
