Doneen commented that his <br />th <br />comments at the May 4 meeting did not reference an “agreement” but rather an update to the Commission <br />that the school district had met with the neighbors and baseball association representatives and informed <br />them that 3 fields were to be built at Fairview, 2 fields to accommodate the Fast pitch Softball Program and <br />one field to be used by Baseball. <br /> <br />. <br />Amended Minutes for the May 4, 2010 meeting were approved unanimously <br /> <br /> COMMISSION COMMENT / PUBLIC COMMENT <br />3. <br />Brokke briefed commissioners on the tragic death of a 12 year old boy in Bruce Russell Park on Sunday, <br />st <br />August 1. Commissioners and Parks and Recreation staff extended their sincere condolences to the family. <br /> <br />Gary Grefenberg addressed the Commission on two community items; <br /> <br />As a member of the Roseville Human Rights Commission, Grefenberg informed the Parks and <br />o <br />Recreation Commission that the Human Rights Commission has been charged with looking at <br />involvement of Roseville citizens in the local government process. The Human Rights Commission is <br />looking for a volunteer from the Parks and Recreation Commission to take part in a task force that will <br />study the topic over the next eight months. Commission Chair Stark directed Commissioners to consider <br />the task and mentioned that a representative would be named following the next Parks and Recreation <br />Commission Meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />Grefenberg shared a draft of the upcoming edition of the SouthWest Area Roseville Monitor (SWARM). <br />o <br />This newsletter recognizes the extensive community involvement that has taken place over the past <br />eleven months for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update. Grefenberg commented that some <br />Southwest residents do not trust government and his experiences with the parks and recreation planning <br />process has resulted in a willingness on this part to assist in sharing information from the Citizen <br />Advisory Team with the Southwest Roseville neighbors. <br /> <br />Grefenberg voiced his concern with the recent bond proposal and feels the completed Master Plan needs <br />th <br />to be better reflected in the referendum budget. He is also concerned that the August 20 deadline <br />seems to undercut the role of the CAT in the Master Planning process and the vision and planning <br />process are worthless unless reflected in the implementation budget. Lastly, Grefenberg commented <br />that citizen involvement has been wasted unless the budget is reflected in the Master Plan and resulting <br />implementation. It would be disappointing if on this most critical step of the planning process the City <br />opts to go it alone with a rushed referendum. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
