Recreation Agreement with City of Lauderdale At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon summarized the request as detailed in the Request for Council Action(RCA) dated April 7, 2014, noting that this was similar to past practice and the agreement had been reviewed by the City Attorney. While expressing her full support of these joint programs, Councilmember McGehee sought additional information on how this joint program works and as- surances that use by other cities were not supported by Roseville fees or taxpayer dollars. For transparency purpose, Councilmember McGehee asked that staff provide an explanation to correct any misconceptions. City Manager Trudgeon advised that fees charged pay for the bulk of costs for the program(s) and temporary employees to administer those programs, as well as for general administrative and back office support. Mr. Trudgeon assured Coun- cilmembers and the public that the City attempted to recover as much of the cost as possible, with other users fully reimbursing the City of Roseville for sign-ups at different rates, equipment use and use of the puppet wagon. Mr. Trudgeon ad- vised that the funding was subject to the number of people signing up and costs borne by, in this case,the City of Lauderdale or users of the program. As the Parks & Recreation Department continued to expand offerings to adjacent communities, Councilmember McGehee asked that they provide the same trans- parency of shared programs as other departments were asked to do to ensure Ro- seville residents are not paying more. At the request of Mayor Roe, Parks & Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke con- curred with City Manager Trudgeon's explanation; clarifying that this Lauderdale program and agreement was paying for all costs in full; and paying the cost of non-resident fees per registrations, in addition to all costs for equipment and staff- ing.
