Special City Council Meeting Thursday, May 22,2014 Page 9 EAB = $100,000 (levy funded) with the Department of Agriculture Report pend- ing, and $70,000 to $80,000 remaining from the original $100,000 allotment, with the rationale to keep it funded as more cases are found. Councilmember Willmus requested additional information on the trail plowing adjacent to public areas versus private properties; and a breakdown of actual mileage for non-public areas by residential, commercial and public areas. Mr. Brokke noted that the City plowed residential sidewalks/paths, with businesses performing that maintenance. Related to the golf course and club house upgrades and updates, Councilmember McGehee asked how much of the current$200,000 reserves may be needed. Mr. Brokke responded that this would depend on an analysis of a remodel or re- placement; with the replacement allotment included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) estimated at $1.1 million for replacement; and an unknown amount if for a remodel. Mr. Brokke noted that the original club house was origi- nally a double-wide trailer, and its current condition and age warranted discussion in the near future.

Overall, Mr. Brokke opined that the number of rounds remained stable when the weather was normal. Councilmember McGehee requested additional information and an analysis of us- age for Roseville residents and non-residents. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Brokke advised that the club house had been put in place in 1959. At the request of Councilmember Etten, Mr. Brokke and Mr. Schwartz advised that there was nothing included in the current contract for additional buildings to be maintained. However, Mr. Schwartz advised that the contractor would have the capacity to add onto their contract, at an additional cost. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Brokke advised that, in a normal year with normal reasonable weather, the course had supported up to 45,000 rounds played in the mid-1990's. Regarding promoting and marketing the golf course, Mr. Brokke responded to Councilmember Laliberte that staff was already performing those promotions, and
