Mr. Brokke noted, however, that <br />the OVAL Task Force had completed their task, and now <br />the OV AL Advisory Committee and user-group <br />representatives needed to begin their work in <br />accomplishing the recommendations of the Task Force. <br /> <br />OVAL Task Force Chair Jake Jacobson concurred with Mr. <br />Brokke, noting that today's events were the beginning, and <br />the projected business model would necessarily change <br />with the generous donation of Guidant Foundation, but that <br />other possibilities existed in endowments and matching <br />funds to sustain future operations. <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing announced, for those unaware, the <br />generous $500,000 check received by the City of Roseville <br />during a press conference earlier today from the Guidant <br />Foundation.
