MINUTES PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION September 8, 2016 DRAFT JOB DESCRIPTION Sanders presented an option to construct a dog park at the hockey rink near the Roseville Middle School. He explained the area could function as an ice rink in the winter and a dog park in the summer with the construction of a double gate system to allow the dogs safe and easy access. Sanders noted the cost would be approximately $3,000. 15. Install trail in Waterworks trail loop from Little Canada Road south to Sextant Avenue - $230,000 Sanders presented an option to continue the Waterworks trail by expanding the path to the south. He noted there is a sewer easement where a trail could be placed, but is not currently zoned for a path. He explained this would require further study. 16. Continue to concentrate on reforestation and invasive species control and monitoring at all parks - $25,000 per year Chair Miller thanked Sanders for his work and presentation. Chair Miller stated the Commission would reprioritize the list at the next meeting. The City Administrator stated the top three projects on the list were currently in the 2017 budget. He explained this would cause the fund to look negative in 2021, but there were several factors that increased the balance, but were not shown. One source included local government aid which is only accounted for in the upcoming year because the amount the City is receiving is only known for 2017. The City Administrator thought with future local government aid the fund would remain positive in 2021. He further explained there are additional funds the Commission could consider pulling from for future projects including the 10 percent gambling fund which has approximately $90,000 and the Park Land Acquisition Fund which has approximately one million dollars currently. The director asked if there were statutory requirements that would prevent funds from being used for purposes besides Park Land Acquisition. The City Administrator explained there were no state statues for the Park Land Acquisition Fund as long as the money was used for Parks and Recreation needs. He noted the Commission would have to get City Council approval to use the money for other purposes. The Director shared a draft job description for the Parks and Recreation Department. He explained the draft was compiled by City staff. Chair Miller noted a title was needed for the position, and that was up for interpretation. Darling asked if the major duties and responsibilities had been compiled recently. The Director stated they were determined in 1999. Darling suggested duty number 13 and 14 be moved to follow duty number 6. She also suggested moving duty number 21 to follow duty
