3. Staff Report
Abernathy welcomed two new members to the Commission: Melissa Weber-
Sanders and Jason Schober. Commission members then went around the
room and introduced themselves.
Recreation Update- Abernathy reported that programming for summer has
begun and the summer activity guide is scheduled to be distributed towards
the end of February/beginning of March. Many of the same programs held in
the past will be held again as well as some new programs: Aerobic
Kickboxing, watercolor painting class and continuing the parent/child craft
classes with Nancy Gagner. At this time the University has not gotten back to
Abernathy regarding golf programs this summer so she will report back if
anything changes before summer. Abernathy then reported the status of the
Winterfest event coming up Sunday, January 27th. Council member Beth
Mercer-Taylor is in talks with REI in Bloomington about getting some cross
country ski's to use at Winterfest. Abernathy then asked the Commission to
come out and participate in the event or volunteer if they were able to do so.
Abernathy then reported that the City did get a page in the Roseville
• Community Education Activity Guide so to look for it in their next issue. This
page consisted of brief listings of programs we will be offering as well as
registration information and our contact information.
• Rink Updates- Pittman reported that the rinks are in good shape as the
weather has been cooperating. So far there has only been one weekend the
rinks were closed due to extreme cold weather. Green asked if parking at
Grove Park has been an issue. Pittman reported that he has not received any
calls regarding parking nor about the City not putting a hockey rink at
Community Park this season.
4. Park Plan/Guide Work- Future Needs Analysis
Mielke turned the Commission members attention to the binders they received
upon arrival. Mielke gave a short background of the Park Plan that was done
10 years ago and its purpose. Mielke reported that in creation of this new plan
it would be come a reference guide for Park Commissioners as well as the
Parks and Recreation overall plan. By doing this each member will have
access to background information, policies, park information and needs
analysis that may be helpful when working towards the Commission's
goals each year. There are sections that are still a work in progress: Table
of Contents, Maps, Trail section, the trolley path project, policies and
future planning. Therefore Meilke asked Commission members to bring their
binder with them to each meeting.
5. Set Commission Goals and Agendas for 2008
The Commission went through each month and made note of projects and
• goals it would like to achieve in 2008. Attached to the minutes are the goals
that were discussed as well as the agenda topics for 2008.
