Park and Recreation Commission Chair Cole Kelly will facilitate the conversation
with the neighbors. Department staff members will also participate in the gathering,
as will consulting parks planner Gabrielle Grinde from HKGi. Following a more
formal gathering of residents, including a question and answer period and time to take
input from residents, individual commissioners should engage with smaller groups of
residents to continue the conversation. Report any additional input and comments of
note back to Gabrielle who will record them.
Most importantly, enjoy what will hopefully be a beautiful summer evening engaging
in conversation with the Roundhouse Park neighbors you represent as Chanhassen
Park and Recreation Commissioners!
