Thie Trails Commission wasi specifically inisitruictield to avoid the general city budget <br />during our deliberations and subsequent discussions, with the Council. We were charged by <br />,the Counicil. at the time with a specific and limited task. we were told that determining <br />a <br />the pr3il-oriitiles for the general budget was the plur-view of the Council and that they would <br />6 <br />not ® our straying from, our charge. We were to limit our considerations to pathways. <br />6 a a <br />If the Council is 'interesting, in gauging public opinion about the importance of <br />pathways to citizens of Roseville, i recommend that you turn to the Vista 2000 <br />prolil eict, <br />2.

FiLnially, I want to, respond to the Mayor's comments about the use of federal and <br />County tax money to bul"Id this trai 1. <br />The money at the federal and county levels has already been allocated.

There will be • savings for any tax avers. <br />p � <br />0 <br />
