E. AGENDA:
1. Introduce new PARC commissioners , Randi Lundell and Mike Tracy.
• Bradbury read the role of the PARC to new members, which, in short, is to
produce advisement to the Council on public parks, facilities and rec
programming; the term is three years and you can serve up to two
consecutive terms.
2. 2023 Goals Discussion
• Goals that were suggested but have not yet been finalized for 2023, include:
-To meet regularly; the PARC has struggled to have quorum at meetings
in the last couple of years.
-To create an event calendar
-To bring back the 5K or some type of fun run.
-To (re)visit Roseville park buildings to gain knowledge on how to
improve our own building at Community Park.
-To do a park audit, looking at the amenities we currently have and to
find things to improve upon.

-To study the ice rink’s use at Curtiss Field and look for improvements
for next year.
-To develop one goal per each of the categories that PARC advises on
(public parks, facilities, and rec programming).
3. 2023 Snowstravaganza Discussion
• Group discussed what this event has consisted of in the past, the typical
attendance at the event, the estimated expense using last year’s event
template (the event was planned for and cancelled last year due to weather)
and was asked to think about the event, to determine at a later date if the
event should occur in 2023. And, if so, what changes they may recommend
at that time.
4. Describe Officer Duties and Announce Upcoming Officer Elections
• Because the PARC has not met regularly with quorum in 2022, officer
elections for this calendar year have not taken place. Commissioners were
given a handout to see the various positions and duties to look over and told
that the election will be held at the January 2023 PARC meeting for the 2023
calendar year.
F. INFORMATION/ANNOUNCEMENT
Next PARC meeting will be on December 5, 2022. Nelson asked commissioners for
input in setting the agenda for that meeting. Yager would like to see a programming analysis
over the last few years to look deeper at rec enrollment numbers so that we can discuss
spring/summer programming at a future meeting. Faust asked if we could discuss ice rink(s) a
bit as well to consider improvements for 2023 and beyond. Roseville uses cement under their
rink and it extends the skating season. Also, without a permanent warming house structure, is
there anything more to be done there?
