Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 18,2013 Page 10 the RVA for the community's most favorite tree. Ms. Wearn noted this would al- low various non-profits and others to promote their organizations. Noting the diversity of the community, Councilmember McGehee expressed her preference that no promotion of religious holidays be encouraged if this illumina- tion project proceeded. Councilmember McGehee advised that she and Ms. Wearn had previously discussed an opportunity to tie the lighting with ways to give back in the community, (e.g. food shelf donations, breast cancer awareness or other charities of choice); and suggested that this type of activity should also be promoted in partnership with various Roseville Area High School efforts and classroom projects of similar purpose. Councilmember McGehee noted that this would encourage a season of giving no matter one's faith. Ms. Wearn advised that the intent was for a "holiday" display, and to keep the prices for participation low enough that anyone could participate, and that partici- pants would be encourage to decorate according to their faith or background, con- curring with Mayor Roe's request that the decorations be within normal and rea- sonable bounds. Discussion included having trees available for children to decorate without having to pay a fee, or donated by the community for that purpose; with Ms. Wearn not- ing interest had already been found from several organizations (e.g. Bridging) for a tree sponsored by a corporation for the benefit of those organizations, or for do- nation to a specific cause by providing funds to an organization with or without decorating a tree. Ms. Wearn noted that the RVA already had some lights that they owned and that could be made available for that purpose, since the RVA hol- iday lighting program had been occurring for the last twelve(12) years. Mr. Gaye advised that the promotion was in the conceptual stages at this time,but it could prove to be a growth display, but anticipating that the first year may be a learning opportunity and need course corrections as it grew. Mr. Gaye noted that the effort would require partnerships with the RVA, and sought assistance from various organizations, as well as potential labor and assistance from the City's Parks and Recreation Department. Mr. Gaye noted interest in the current lighting was diminishing, and these efforts were intended to return it as a special and unique Roseville opportunity. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Ms. Wearn advised that the anticipat- ed lighting would be installed around November 15, at the time the ice rink was flooded, and removed around the end of January, depending on weather condi- tions. Mayor Roe thanked Ms. Wearn and Mr. Gaye for the presentation and for the work done on behalf of the community's hospitality industry and for those visit- ing Roseville.
