Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,August 22,2011 <br /> Page 5 <br /> (Former Consent Item 7.e) <br /> At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen provided a brief summary of <br /> this item, as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated August 22, <br /> 2011. <br /> Councilmember McGehee advised that her intent in requesting removal of this <br /> item from the Consent Agenda was for a discussion that would alert the public of <br /> this valuable opportunity to donate to this worthy cause; and to hopefully encour- <br /> age other civic-minded individuals or groups to make similar contributions. <br /> At the request of Councilmember McGehee, City Manager Malinen advised that <br /> any persons or groups interested in making donations could contact City Hall, the <br /> Administration Department or specifically through any other City Department. <br /> City Manager Malinen noted that the City was always eager to accept donations <br /> to such worthy causes and to provide recognition accordingly through its week's <br /> news releases or other media options available. <br /> Councilmember McGehee sought additional information about this specific <br /> recreation area that the Roseville Police Department had taken an interest in. <br /> Roseville Police Chief Rick Mathwig advised that, while the Police Department <br /> had originally "passed the hat" to purchase volleyball nets and other sports <br /> equipment for this recreation area at Woodridge and Marion, along with coordina- <br /> tion of equipment with the Parks and Recreation Department, it had subsequently <br /> proven insufficient. Chief Mathwig advised that the venture was now a pub- <br /> lic/private relationship, through cooperation with the apartment management and <br /> ownership to provide green space inside the grounds of the apartment complex. <br /> Chief Mathwig noted that it remained a work in progress, but was a heavily-used <br /> recreation option for youth in that area. <br /> McGehee moved, Johnson seconded, acceptance of donated funds by the Rose- <br /> ville Fire Angels Auxiliary to the Police Department. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: McGehee; Pust; Johnson; Willmus; and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> f.
