Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 15, 2013 Page 26 In her rankings, Councilmember Laliberte advised that she ranked protection of city assets (e.g. facilities or grounds) as "7's" across the board, as a responsible of the City. Based on that higher ranking, Councilmember Laliberte noted that her other rankings fell below that,based on her perspective. Mayor Roe referenced his rankings of"1's," recognizing that they were desirable, and he didn't consider their elimination; but based on his rationale in terms of achieving community aspirations. Using the OVAL as an example, while being a huge community asset, Mayor Roe questioned if it was critical, suggesting that he ranked it as desirable; and likewise with the golf course. After considering Mr. Brokke's comments on departmental and city-wide support items, Mayor Roe in- dicated that he would have to change his rankings accordingly on the second it- eration. Councilmember McGehee concurred, noting that she hadn't fully understood the cross-utilization of staff and would also need to change her rankings in the second iteration. Discussion ensued regarding the percentage of programs/service supported through fees and compared with other communities based on their interpretations, with Mr. Brokke advising that the City of Roseville was supported overall be- tween 50-60%, with the nationwide average of approximately 35% fee-supported. With a reference by Councilmember McGehee in her research with the City of Shoreview and their programs 95% fee-supported, Mr. Brokke advised that he was unaware of any recreation department 95% fee-supported; however, he vol- unteered to perform further research on that data. Councilmember McGehee clarified that the Shoreview Community Center was held at 78% fee-supported, per City Council policy. Mr. Brokke clarified that the City of Roseville's fee-supported programs are 100% fee-supported; with Mayor Roe noting that under Program Management (Code 16), a review of revenue indicates the City of Roseville at 102% fee- supported in that category, as confirmed by City Manager Malinen. Councilmember McGehee noted that it was hard to make sense of spending, when the Check Register didn't show revenues. Given the time remaining for tonight's meeting, Mayor Roe, with Council consensus, deferred remaining items to the next business meeting with the exception of the Website vendor review.
