Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 26, 2016 Page 11 4)Reconsider the Status of the Golf Course as an Enterprise Fund Mr. Holt noted criteria suggested the golf course was not currently operating fully as an Enterprise Fund; warranting current/future operations and capital needs reconsideration. Mayor Roe invited any Advisory Team members in the audience to add their comments to the presentation, with no one volunteering. Mayor Roe thanked all for their contributions, and then provided an opportunity for public comment. Public Comment Betty Wolfangle, 837 Heinel Drive, Member Roseville Historical Society Ms. Wolfangle thanked the Team for the privilege of looking at the draft Final Report before tonight’s City Council presentation and provided thoughts from the perspective of the Historical Society. Ms. Wolfangle commended the Team for their good and thorough review and report. From the Society’s perspective, and recognizing budget shortfalls, Ms. Wolfangle stated their understanding in being able to consider their organization as part of the new building, especially when they were not a revenue source. Even though the wish may be for a multi-faceted building for year-round use, Ms. Wolfangle noted the Society was aware of the reality of the revenue shortfall and their inabil- ity to remedy that or produce funding. However, Ms. Wolfangle reminded the City Council that the Society had been in existence for over forty years, and remained “homeless.” Based on the proposed footprint for a golf course building, Ms. Wolfangle questioned if the square foot- age available could meet the needs of their organization, advising that the bottom line was that their optimum needs would be approximately 1,300 square feet to provide showroom, office space and files. Ms. Wolfangle noted the Society had a lot of computer and file storage needs as it represented over 100 years of Rose- ville history, and still collecting artifacts. Ms. Wolfangle noted the Roseville arti- fact collection was the envy of many communities, as well as other agencies. Ms. Wolfangle advised that they were excited about those many artifacts, current- ly stored at Fire Station No. 2, and would appreciate being able to display them and change those displays frequently or seasonally, rather than simply stockpiling them in a room. However, Ms. Wolfangle noted storage would also be needed for those items not on display. Specific to parking, Ms. Wolfangle advised that the Society meets approximately four times annually, exclusive of special events; meeting during daytime. One of the attractions to the clubhouse, Ms. Wolfangle reported was access to a kitchen, restroom facilities, and parking for their average needs for twenty-five people; making that space perfect for them.
