Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 17,2014 Page 8 However, Councilmember McGehee opined that the Commission had not come to ask about any of that and had therefore failed to set priorities. Councilmember McGehee agreed with Mayor Roe's comments about not being interested in tak- ing on more major financial issues, since funds were not available to pursue eve- rything. Councilmember McGehee reiterated her disappointment that funds were not used to build a nice club house for the community; and she was unsure what to do about it now. Councilmember McGehee further opined that, if the Commis- sion could make a plan on how to fund a new club house, perhaps peoples could contribute to make a good club and if offering lunches, perhaps it could draw a nice golfing clientele, similar to other gathering buildings, and perhaps offer cross-country skiing during winter months. Councilmember McGehee expressed her interest in seeing the Commission come up with such a plan. Mayor Roe clarified that Cedarholm was not a Parks & Recreation Commission golf course, but belonged to the community, and therefore it wasn't up to the Commission to figure everything out. Mayor Roe expressed his disappointment with Councilmember McGehee's attempts at lecturing the Commission, opining that if everything she thought the Park Renewal bonds should have been used for was done, the bonds would have been spent something like three times over. Mayor Roe further clarified that it had been known from the onset that the Parks Renewal Program was only a partial solution for the community, and it had been determined to address some things first, and noted that Cedarholm and the Skat- ing Center had not been excluded or not recognized as needing work. Mayor Roe opined that, at this point, to second guess how the bond funds should have been spent and reprioritizing the decision-making was futile, and Councilmember McGeheeneeded to move past that mentality. Councilmember Etten stated that he was looking for some sense from the Com- mission of what a replacement would be, since there were multiple ways to re- place it as well as multiple uses it could serve. Councilmember Etten questioned whether renovating the current building had validity, but requested information from the Commission on that option: and whether to consider a higher-end club house or a renovated club house, and pros and cons, and rough costs, for either choice. Councilmember Etten further expressed his interest in looking at how the enterprise could enhance revenues outside of golf, such as seeking revenue sources for that space. While replacing the roof and other major repairs have been on the CIP for several years, Councilmember Etten asked that those major repairs over $20,000 not be considered until a more robust community discussion is held. Councilmember Etten stated that he was in agreement with Mayor Roe's comments, and opined that there had been significant opportunities for the City Council, the community and other interested parties to provide input for the Park Renewal Program components, with choices and priorities made after significant discussion. Councilmember Etten opined that to bring this issue up repeatedly af- ter 3-4 years of that decision having been made was not helpful to the community nor did it improve the future of the community in any way.
