<br />Special City Council Meeting <br />Thursday, March 29, 2007 <br />Page 14 of 20 <br />projects to anticipate future needs and make access available to the entire commu- <br />nity. <br /> <br />Mr. Traynor concurred with Mr. Keel's sumlnary; noting that he heard, "don't take <br />chances on particular technologies, we don't need to be a leader in that field." <br /> <br />Finance and Revenue <br />Goals identified were: Roseville has a growing, diverse and stable revenue base; <br />and Roseville responsibly funds programs, services, and infrastructure to meet <br />long-term needs. <br /> <br />Strategies outlined were: establish sustainable funding sources and mechanislns to <br />pay for community needs; encourage renovation and redevelopment to increase the <br />tax base; consider alternative mechanisms to fund city services; maintain the high- <br />est financing and budgeting standards; align budget and expenditures to support <br />programs and services for all city functions; actively manage funds to provide <br />long-term fiscal stability; incorporate community priorities in fhnding decision- <br />making processes; and collaborate with other governmental units to leverage and <br />manage costs for operations, services, and capital improvements. <br /> <br />Mr. Keel noted that most comments recognized that Roseville had a growing, di- <br />verse and stable revenue basis, and all sought that the City continue to responsibly <br />fund programs, services and infrastructure to meet future needs.
