PLAN IMPLEMENTATION DISCUSSION CONTINUED
o Brokke
provided a brief overview of the Master Plan Implementation Process to date
o Stark and
Anfang reviewed the two proposals for a statistically valid survey to provide
direction for the Master Plan Implementation.
o While the two
proposals were comparable, the project outline provided by Leisure Vision was
more comprehensive and seemed to be a better fit for Roseville’s needs.
§
Commissioners were in
agreed with Stark and Staff that Leisure Vision presented the type of
services that best matched our needs.
o Brokke addressed
the proposed Master Plan Implementation budget for the community survey and
community engagement, education and connections.

the Roseville City Council authorize Leisure Vision to work with the Master
Plan Organizing Team to conduct a community survey and authorize a $50,000

Pederson. Motion passed unanimously.

REPORT
- 37” of snow fell in
the month of December. Parks & Recreation Maintenance staff
has done a great job clearing rails and pathways. The process for
snow removal was difficult because of limited resources due to the
excessive amounts of snow and the techniques required to
remove the snow.
- The snow melt pit at
the OVAL has been very helpful during this extremely snowy month.
- Neighborhood ice rinks
are open and being used by the community.
- New Years Eve at the
Skating Center was a successful community event,
attendance was good in spite of all the weather challenges throughout
the day. Thank you to Goodmanson Construction for once again
sponsoring the night.
- The OVAL will host the
US National Long Track Championships and the Winter Carnival Ice Jam in
January.
- The Winter Activities
Brochure is scheduled to be delivered to Roseville homes this
week. Watch for a strong lineup of winter parks and recreation
programs.
- Stark and Brokke
discussed the final steps in the City Zoning Code updates.
o
Brokke recognized Jim Stark’s participation in the process and his
strong representation of the Commission’s views.
o
Stark was proud of the way the Council backed the Parks &
Recreation Commission’s passion.
