The five-member Library Board makes recommendations on library issues such as library hours and policies, priorities for capital purchases, and sites for new branch libraries. Board members act as informal liaisons with the community to promote the library system and to bring community concerns to the Library Director. The seven-member Parks and Recreation Commission reviews and makes recommendations on park projects, department operations, recreation programs and specific controversial issues. Short-range planning efforts include zoning matters dealing with land use changes, rezonings, subdivision and parceling of land, use permits and variances. Issues include planning, rates, complaints about rates or operations, and activities of utility joint powers agencies.
Members also represent the commission by serving on other committees within the aging network.
The three-member committee includes the planning director, the city engineer and one member of the Planning Commission. The committee reviews tentative maps of four or fewer parcels, lot line adjustments, voluntary mergers, certificates of compliance, minor tentative map modifications, minor grading permits, major tentative map modifications involving four or fewer parcels, and tentative map extensions. One Planning Commissioner rotates each meeting. The five-member commission studies local public transit, traffic, bikeway and pedestrian needs within the city. Commissioners also approve Transportation System Management plans and work with the public to promote transit systems in Roseville.
