Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 10, 2013 Page 9 tunities for the City of Roseville and other communities. However, Mayor Roe noted that this was not going to happen overnight, due to state representation and interests from outstate Minnesota. In order to move ahead under current Statute, Mayor Roe noted that the voters should understand what is involved and how it will affect local residents, then possibly tying it into a community center discus- sion. If a local option sales tax was used to fund a community center in part and requiring voter approval, Mayor Roe noted that it was important that education of Roseville residents was handled well, using an effort similar to the Parks Master Plan and Parks Renewal Program models. Councilmember Willmus noted that the Parks Master Plan had included infor- mation gathering from the community pertaining to a community center; and should be included with other data. Councilmember Willmus concurred that outreach and getting the public involved at the earliest opportunity was vital. Mayor Roe expressed concern with proceeding too soon with the local option sales tax or community center proposed for those two (2) projects in 2014, noting that impacts to local taxpayers for CIP increased funding and the bond issue had not been fully realized, but would be coming on line in 2014. Mayor Roe advised that he was concerned with the impacts of doing too many things too fast..

While not necessarily the same vision talked about in the Parks Master Plan, Mayor Roe noted that those discussions initiated with the Master Plan pro- cess provided a good starting point; however, emphasized the need for community buy-in and the ability to express their points of view as vital. As a big supporter of sustainability, Councilmember McGehee focused discussion on maintenance issues, noting that if the community wanted to be in a position of sustainability by 2020, it would require $1.4 million annually even before any ad- ditional park improvements were put in place. Councilmember McGehee refer- enced discussions later this evening on levy limits imposed by the legislature for 2014; and even with the $315,000 set aside by the City Council last year for CIP needs, the City would not be able to meet the current annual needs, without any other facilities or structures coming on line. While having historically talked about a community center and recognizing the value the community places on its park system, Councilmember McGehee noted that the City had not historically funded those assets, creating the need for the recent $19 million bond issue to fund them; but having no program in place going forward with any solid based funding for those current or the proposed buildings. While continuing to hear the opinion that a local option sales tax will get the City out of its current “mess,” Councilmember McGehee opined that there were many legislative issues needing to be addressed, and many sides not yet fully researched, including other commu-
