Regular City Council Meeting Monday,October 14, 2013 Page 6 g. Approve Agreement with Ramsey County Bench Program At the request of Mayor Roe, Interim City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this request as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated October 14, 2013. Councilmember McGehee advised that she had received comments from several residents as users of the benches already installed, that they were mounted on large cement slabs, which they found to be singularly unattractive to people. Councilmember McGehee questioned if there was some other way to mount them going forward. Mr. Trudgeon advised that the slab had been required as part of the benches in- stalled at Langton Lake to provide inset bricks with donor information. However, moving forward, Mr. Trudgeon advised that this would not be a requirement, and noted that he would follow-up to see if they can be made more attractive, while remaining safe and secure. McGehee moved, Laliberte seconded, approval of an agreement between the City of Roseville and Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department (Attachment A) for the acquisition of twelve (12) benches; and authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to executive the agreement, subject to final approval by the City Attor- ney. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Laliberte; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. h. Receive 2013 Third Quarter Financial Report At the request of Mayor Roe, Interim City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this request as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated October 14, 2013; noting that this is only a snapshot and subject to change. Councilmember McGehee advised that she had no questions; however, since this was a Consent Item, she wanted to ensure that the public and City Council was reminded that the Water Fund was only afloat due to internal loans from the Storm Sewer Fund. Councilmember McGehee noted that the Storm Sewer system would be doing a lot of improvements going forward. Councilmember McGehee also noted that, while the Golf Course Fund seemed to be sufficient, it was not al- lowing for any additional funds for a new club house as requested as a priority by the community. While the Operating Fund appeared to be doing fine, Coun- cilmember McGehee noted that the CIP Fund was still not at a level of sustaina- bility to provide maintenance for new buildings and pathways, and asked that the public pay attention to the overall picture.
