Jill Geller, the department director, told the commission the department has completed a self-assessment covering 154 standards and attached about 882 documents as evidence of compliance. “We would love for Roseville Parks, Recreation and Libraries to be among that elite 2% of park and recreation agencies,” Geller said, describing CAPRA as a rigorous process of self-assessment and evidence submission.

Geller explained that CAPRA requires agencies to meet all 36 fundamental standards and 90% of the remaining standards; a three-person review team is currently reviewing the department’s submission and will make a recommendation. Reviewers scheduled a site visit in Roseville for the week of April 28; the CAPRA board will make a final accreditation decision after receiving the review team’s recommendation, and the department anticipates attending a hearing at the NRPA conference in September to learn the official outcome. Geller said reaccreditation occurs every five years and that the department must file a short annual report in the interim.

The item was informational; commissioners asked about staffing and maintenance of accreditation standards. Geller said staff across the department contributed to the submission, with different staff assigned to chapters and document collection, and that reaccreditation will require substantially less work because documentation and practices will already be in place.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting of February 3, 2025 - City of Roseville, CA","oneSentenceSummary","Department staff described the multi-year CAPRA accreditation application, the standards review, and next steps including a site visit the week of April 28.","taxTitle","Roseville, Placer County, California","taxId",3668,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6336694,"New Maidu Museum senior specialist outlines museum programs, site history and volunteer needs",394,3236000,3630000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2282216-71218092967c40c3ec90f6ba1ff370c2&start=3236&end=3630","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2282216-71218092967c40c3ec90f6ba1ff370c2/thumbnail_3236000.jpg","/articles/6336694/Roseville/Placer-County/California/New-Maidu-Museum-senior-specialist-outlines-museum-programs-site-history-and-volunteer-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6336694-2debc678a9701d638ccf20e8d51f848a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771213670&Signature=T6dZ-Bu6l9tzgCwE3ur8jVVMTN37fyRjRwC24Z7e2mGxmAy~UexarTSBzg98NL4V~BIpUE~ytyzfCBXCEGauCpmsuFtxnGq2dgg935JTCVbJgEX42XqLbASJtUNU2YCdfdN2~k5svEKFypF6vBgkXn-MCg1o~uWOJAvyC6DAJ0DyOSiyXISyQHxO59Zrc8QuOMhc-T3AGMntNIOLmVU~oTC-6QvgX09u-TeBcfF5d3ft0mCRb-WgHIIPV7KQzDM3BMOKN4ATQB82sC~9IlgYUMbqOPX8ecmZIBaYjaSWOOQN5DD256CXwihu~mbMdkoVZjV4onLmJF8-3MFHraxKbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A new senior museum specialist at the Maidu Museum and Historic Site briefed the Parks and Recreation Commission on Feb. 3 about the site’s history, programs and volunteer needs.

“My name is Alicia Martinez, and I am the new senior museum specialist at the Maidu Museum and Historic Site,” Martinez said, describing her background and the museum’s mission to “protect, preserve and interpret the cultural and natural heritage of the Maidu Historic Site and region.” She said the museum is located at 1970 Johnson Ranch Drive and that the on-site trail includes more than 500 ancient bedrock mortars and informational signage.

Martinez told commissioners the museum served more than 13,000 visitors in fiscal year 2024 and provided school programs to roughly 5,200 students, primarily third- and fourth-grade classes studying California history. The museum offers drop-in family tours on Saturdays, hands-on workshops such as beading and basket making, summer day camps, craft fairs, art exhibitions, evening “rock art mystery” tours, and special events including an annual spring event called Yeomen.

Martinez said the museum collaborates with a Native Advisory Committee on interpretive text, programming and exhibitions to ensure cultural and historical accuracy. She described volunteer requirements: docents commit to a minimum of three hours a month (with year-long commitments and a training process), and a restoration crew works weekly on land stewardship.

Martinez invited commissioners and the public to the Yeomen event on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; admission is free. The item was informational and required no commission action.","Alicia Martinez described the Maidu Museum and Historic Site's collections, education programs, visitation, and volunteer recruitment at the Feb. 3 commission meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6336699,"Residents urge Roseville to add more pickleball courts at Gibson Park as demand outstrips supply",2456,743000,3199000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2282216-71218092967c40c3ec90f6ba1ff370c2&start=743&end=3199","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2282216-71218092967c40c3ec90f6ba1ff370c2/thumbnail_743000.jpg","/articles/6336699/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Residents-urge-Roseville-to-add-more-pickleball-courts-at-Gibson-Park-as-demand-outstrips-supply","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6336699-fad42d20bd6571a5dc813cb802d237fa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771213670&Signature=AKTLCXi8cBxZwhXHEh4xMDxTjlRykvQs~fINfBKg7vYeNNh~k0xCx3NRvgz3Yj9ISoR7-FnHpNq1iBuSvSUSxb4SZbeXdCgolVR6SM58SWqYo~0hsSIy4TSGp3C~oyOVHv2t5vRVIvE1Q3rKRJEPHfxD4-nmcQQWY2r7rmic71tRbIeLZFUSFOZLqATn92tzjUd2Z9GxoROy4mKm24zsfrRLZeaAfHK66NDkDKehPeKNCcIBcTwWSGanlw2c92SshqnH5Q48xlu8FM5vMRxiNKoGD02om~eJPiGM4MhcwXhjUQ2d-rDaDwf5UL-wBw4tKg453Dz6ktw0xUuQKJIDzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Parks and Recreation Commission on Feb. 3 that participation in pickleball has surged locally and nationally, and that Roseville’s supply of public courts is under pressure from sustained demand at Gibson Park.

Tara G., the city’s park planning and development manager, told commissioners that pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S. and summarized national and local participation trends. “Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in The US,” she said, citing USA Pickleball data and local use. City inventory currently lists 20 outdoor pickleball courts, and Woodbridge Park’s renovation will add one court to that inventory, Tara G. said.

Tara G. described options and constraints for new courts. She said converting two tennis courts at Woodbridge into pickleball overlays is costing about $350,000 to create two courts out of one tennis-court footprint while maintaining another tennis court. By contrast, constructing a nine-court complex previously built at Gibson cost in excess of $5 million, she said, and the city does not have funding to build an immediate second phase at Gibson. Tara G. also explained that different park funds are restricted geographically: West Roseville and Sierra Vista citywide park funds cannot be used outside their respective planning areas, and neighborhood park funds normally do not support amenities such as permanent restrooms or large complexes.

Public commenters urged faster action. Mike Barnes, a Roseville resident, asked the commission to “make an adjustment to the Gibson Park master plan and complete a build out specifically to reduce the number of tennis courts and increase the number of pickleball courts,” and cited local business demand and recent private investments. Multiple speakers, including Han Wang and John Vick, described frequent waits to play at Gibson and urged more contiguous courts so players can reliably find games. Roger, who identified himself as a former tennis player now using pickleball, said converting a single tennis court can create multiple pickleball courts and cited a per-court conversion cost he estimated at about $10,000 for resurfacing an existing court.

Commissioners asked staff about conversion costs, geographic distribution, reservation systems, sponsorships, and whether shared tennis/pickleball layouts are viable. Staff said dual-marked courts wear surfaces and equipment faster and that net heights and play styles differ between the sports. Staff also emphasized the need to balance access across neighborhoods and citywide parks and said they will re-evaluate Gibson’s master plan when funding for a later phase is available and after formal outreach.

The item was informational; the commission did not take action. Staff said the city will not amend the Gibson Park master plan at the Feb. 3 meeting and that any change would require an outreach process and be timed to funding availability.","Staff presented participation data and funding constraints; dozens of public commenters urged converting tennis courts and expanding Gibson Park's pickleball capacity.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6336703,"Commissioners appoint Nick Alexander chair, Jeff Short vice chair; approve Dec. 2 minutes as amended",316,451000,767000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2282216-71218092967c40c3ec90f6ba1ff370c2&start=451&end=767","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2282216-71218092967c40c3ec90f6ba1ff370c2/thumbnail_451000.jpg","/articles/6336703/Roseville/Placer-County/California/Commissioners-appoint-Nick-Alexander-chair-Jeff-Short-vice-chair-approve-Dec-2-minutes-as-amended","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6336703-83a5d0cb3ca74479d60bd4376307671a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771213670&Signature=cx199HAeZWTPXmkxESTPF3H5WBMdKZbYT8NMELGALG0JgrrJ0bUifTVk~FiswJ50jQWXi8nLadMyFIhPz-wFXVbK2Bli323IVYoC4~uy~~vSeTUgmdvRXZP5auCPtD1Qog1cv3pBWjpU41wKk7V~J57kM9wK1xWksGHpIM4C20a~TwgBITMpkuElRAMFpbaQADySwBtGOl55v3Fk2-FYsw2WasQu2LiIIDpayu6T1-OThwi~ADA9cv9QhcsBFrP6DBAwnp3Xfd5WayndvtOeqC3kfWa3ez-vtbHY2PSp2I9dfRPUXcJy~v00cSTXy5e~vF0mAYNNOVwoZMF3YBksIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roseville Parks and Recreation Commission on Feb. 3 appointed Commissioner Nick Alexander as chair and Commissioner Jeff Short as vice chair and approved the commission’s Dec. 2, 2024, meeting minutes as amended.

Jill Geller, the city’s Parks, Recreation and Libraries director, told commissioners the appointments follow the city’s boards and commissions administrative standards and that the individuals chosen will be seated at the next meeting. “There are no limitations on the number of consecutive terms a commissioner may serve as chair or vice chair, provided they’re appointed or reappointed to the commission,” Geller said.

The commission followed a nomination process. A commissioner nominated Alexander for chair, the nomination was seconded, and Alexander accepted. Commissioners then nominated and seconded Jeff Short for vice chair; the commission voted to approve both appointments during the meeting. The meeting record shows the chair and vice chair will begin their roles at the next meeting, per the administrative standards Geller cited.

The commission also approved the draft minutes for its Dec. 2, 2024, meeting as amended to include the mover’s requested language regarding the naming of Rocky Rockholme Park. A commissioner said they intended the name to read “in memory of the late Rocky Rockholme,” and the commission accepted that wording into the record before approving the minutes.

These actions were taken during the consent and leadership-appointment items of the Feb. 3 agenda. No appeals or legal challenges were raised at the meeting regarding either the appointments or the minutes approval.","At its Feb. 3 meeting the Roseville Parks and Recreation Commission nominated and approved new leadership and approved draft minutes of Dec. 2, 2024, with a wording amendment.","actionData","errors"]
