Greg Simbeck and Randall Doneen updated the Commission on the status of the Community Engagement Task Force. Task Force has been involved in working on topic specific committees. The Task Force is planning on reporting back to the City Council in October or November. A Community Forum is scheduled for September 14, 2011 at the Roseville Skating Center. The forum is an opportunity for the Community to provide input to the task force for their report back to the Council. Doneen commented on how the Master Plan process to date has been a model example of a successful Community Engagement process. MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION DISCUSSION 4. Brokke briefed the Commission on the status of the bond process and project planning progress. Project planning is going to be complicated in order to maintain program offerings and facility use without (or at least minimal) interruption. Brokke explained the upcoming processes for this first step in the implementation process. The next task includes final review of proposed projects and defining those projects with costs and possible timing considerations along with sector/district designation to comply with bonding requirements. Once the projects are more defined a public hearing will be schedule (a 30 day notification is required), following the public hearing the council can authorize the bond sale. The planning team is looking to hold the required public hearing and issue the bonds sometime before the first of the year. th Etten initiated a discussion on the compiled input from the July 28 community meeting. Attendees weighed in on their recommended priorities and potential missing projects and opportunities from the proposed renewal plan. Brokke also spoke about a recent all-staff meeting that reviewed the park renewal program and discussed priorities and content. Commissioners recommended finding ways to keep neighborhoods and community members involved in planning and reviewing sooner rather than later in an effort to continue the momentum and energy realized through the master planning process. Dave Holt inquired into what can be accomplished while waiting for the final bonding requirements to take place.
