NEW BUSINESS
1. Parks & Recreation Commission Interviews
Council discussed the questions prior to interviewing the candidates. The following questions
were asked of each applicant:
1. Do you believe that residents should have input in the park planning process and how
would you weigh the comments from a property owner who abuts a park as contrasted to
someone who lives six blocks to three miles away from the site?
2. Discuss why you believe parks and open space are important to the quality of life for
residents in the city of Maplewood? How would you balance the needs and wants of the
residents given the layout of our city?
3. If you could name one change or improvement that you would make in our parks or open
spaces what would it be?

4. What piqued your interest in this commission and if you don't get appointed, would you
be interested in another board or commission?
5. Does it matter if you have only lived in the city for a short period of time to the
contribution you would make?
Councilmember Rossbach moved to not place any applicants name on the ballot that did not show
up the interview.
Seconded by Councilmember Monahan -Junek Ayes -All
