Roseville, MN - Official Website Page 12 of 22 something different to serve and partner those communities. Mayor Roe suggested that consideration be given to potential partnerships with the private sector or other public entities as well. Councilmember Willmus suggested that if it was the intent of the Commission to come to the City Council with a package, they separate the community center component out. Commissioner Ristow opined that a local sales tax option would be "pay as you go" allowing the City to maintain and repair items, not to acquire land, and could serve to build a fund that would eventually fund a community center, possibly that would be incorporated with a school or existing facility (e.g. OVAL), while not costing the residents anything. Commissioner Ristow spoke in support of partnership opportunities as well. Commissioner McGehee spoke in support of pursuing partnership as well as potential endowments for seed money from long-term Roseville residents; but opined that a community center should be kept as a separate item. Chair Etten confirmed that a community center not be included in a package coming forward, but in the long-term a local sales tax option may be an excellent way to fund a regional community center, drawing from neighboring communities; but that no significant support was being considered by the City Council at this time based on survey results and City Council comments expressed tonight. Commissioner David Holt opined that validation of the Master Plan had occurred through the survey; and noted that the purpose of the Master Plan was for its intended completion in entirety over a twenty (20) year cycle; and while the community center came up as a high priority item over and over again during the Master Plan process, there was no indication of how to pay for it or how it was going to look. Commissioner Holt opined that the charge to the Commission was for a development of a future community center, but no firm determination on how it was going to happen. Commissioner Ristow noted how the City's Public Works Department partnered with other communities for equipment sharing and other options; and opined that a future community center may be another opportunity for such a partnership. Commissioner Ristow asked that the sacrifices made over the past many years by the Parks and Recreation Department be recognized by the City Council and that those funds now be made up and entrust the Commission to make use of them in the best possible way to benefit the community. Councilmember Pust, looking to the Commission as community leaders, asked that when coming forward with their proposals, they include as much detail as possible based on their work to-date and informed decision-making done by the Commission and community. Councilmember Pust noted the importance for that detailed information and recommendation, based on ongoing CIP discussions of the City's long-term and previously-deferred needs; potential increases in utility fees, potential fire station referendum and school district referendums, as well as impacts to municipalities from state actions or inactions. Councilmember Pust noted that the City Council would be looking at that overall picture as they made their decisions; and noted that the more the Commission could lay out in detail the proposals over that twenty (20) year period and based on their expertise and intelligence, the more seriously the City Council consider it balanced with other things. Mayor Roe noted one aspect of the survey results based on demographics, is that those community demographics would also change over the next twenty (20) years, and the philosophical question of who the community was most trying to attract. Also, addressing the CIP, Mayor Roe assured the Commission that all along, the CIP Subcommittee had looked at the park and recreation needs as part of the whole picture, as they considered the community-wide picture; and had been intentional in awaiting survey results before giving serious consideration to finalizing that CIP study, with recommendations to-date http://www.cityofroseville.com/Archive.aspx?AMID—&Type—&ADID-1 125&PREVIEW—YES 7/25/2011
