HRA Meeting Minutes – Tuesday, January 19, 2010 Page 3 the1960’s with updates provided over the years; and development of this Master Plan as a direct outcome of the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning process in serving vital community functions, framing future investments and community-defined goals, and shaping the City’s Parks and Recreation System over the next twenty (20) years. Mr. Brokke and Mr. Jacobson addressed the purpose of the process in engaging the community to establish or reinforce standards, to anticipate future needs, and noted the broad-range of community interests represented by the CAP; and addressed input received from more than 1,000 questionnaires received to-date; the upcoming second Community Meeting scheduled on February 10, 2010 at the Roseville Skating Center from 7:00 – 9:30 p.m., and encouraged the public to attend; Sector Listening Sessions underway allowing for more in-depth discussions with individuals representing groups, associations, and specific neighborhoods connected to park facilities and recreation programs; and attendance at other Citizen Advisory meetings. Preliminary findings of the questionnaires received to-date indicate that neighborhood-scaled parks were meeting the needs of the Roseville community for the most part, except in the southwest part of the community that was not being reasonably served, which proved consistent with the findings of the Comprehensive Plan Update. ofroseville.com and link Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Brokke encouraged the public to visit www.city to the questionnaire, or view the upcoming meeting schedule, or to contact Lonnie Brokke by phone direct at 651/792-7101. Mr. Brokke noted that the planning process has become more than just parks and recreation, but about the community and integration of various areas through connectivity and gathering places. Mr. Brokke advised that, once public input is received, Technical Advisory Team advisors comprised of City Department Heads, City Manager Malinen, Moundsview and Roseville School District representatives, Watershed District representatives; the Minnesota Parks and Recreation Association; surrounding community representatives, as well as business community representatives, would then weigh into the process. Another preliminary outcome indicated the correlation of housing values with their proximity to well-maintained community parks and the converse when parks were not well-maintained. Discussion included initial discussions related to inter-organizational parks (i.e., senior housing with parks and/or a community center in one location, citing the Edinburgh model in Edina, MN); meetings held to date and planned in the future with School Districts for the Master Planning process; “meetings in a box” used at several school meetings for additional outreach; and recognizing the missing element of arts and cultural amenities in parks.
