~~~~lFiY~ January 5, 2010 To: Roseville Human Rights Commission Members Fr: Lonnie Brokke, Parks and Recreation Director Throughout the "Imagine Roseville 2025" process citizens have expressed a real commitment to parks and recreation, with a vision for the future that includes great parks, open spaces and multi- generational recreation programs and facilities. As a result of Imagine Roseville 2025, the recently updated City Comprehensive Plan and direction and recommendation from the City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission aSystem-wide Parks and Recreation Master Plan update was initiated in September 2009. LHB, Inc. and Cornejo Consulting were selected to lead the community input and planning processes. The following initiatives have taken place to date; ^ A 28 member Citizen Advisory Team (CAT) was created and have met five times to explore and discuss the parks and recreation system. ^ The first community wide meeting was held on November 5 with 70 community members in attendance. The meeting featured an interactive planning workshop that resulted in a wide range of ideas for the future of Roseville Parks and Recreation. ^ Community Outreach and Engagement opportunities have included presentations, the "Meeting-In- A-Box" (MIB) effort and online updates. The MIB features an informal conversation-like presentation and an introductory questionnaire that details how the parks and recreation system is currently being used. During January and February we will be conducting several "Listening Sessions." These sessions allow for smaller group discussions of community needs and specific organizational interests. Listening sessions are also being planned for the City Council and all Roseville advisory commissions. The Master Plan will benefit most from community input at all levels and from involvement by everyone with a vested interest in the future of Roseville Parks and Recreation. We will be attending your January 12a' meeting to provide a brief presentation and answer any questions you might have. We encourage you to get involved in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update. Your opinions and ideas are invaluable to the future of Roseville Parks and Recreation.
