Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 20, 2017 Page 29 she was even concerned that this may impede the growth and interest for the soci- ety itself. However, Councilmember Laliberte also opined that it was time to stop talking about it and get them housed as appropriate. Regarding the golf course building itself, Councilmember Laliberte stated her interest in redoing the build- ing as part of the overall expansion of the system that fills a community need. While current spaces don't adequately address customer flow and check-in and pieces pertaining to the golf use and golf customers, Councilmember Laliberte noted the additional need for the space to be flexible for future use over the next 5-15 years as well; and within that same location for long-term needs and rentals. Councilmember Laliberte stated that she was not supportive of a building of the same footprint and capacity for 60 people but preferred filling the immediate need for a capacity of 100-120 people as another option, especially given the scenic views and patio space, and potential interested groups in renting such a space. At approximately 10:00 p.m., Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, extension of the meeting cur- few to include this item and the closed session. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte and Roe. Nays: McGehee. Motion carried. Councilmember Laliberte stated the importance of having real numbers available to make these hard decisions; and in relation to disrupting the area with two dif- ferent building projects (separate maintenance facility) versus doing all now and considering expansion of the site to include the Historical Society.

As a member of the task force, Councilmember Laliberte stated her keen interest in staying in- volved, and if there was any additional subcommittee to be created, volunteered to serve in that capacity. Mayor Roe agreed that he was more inclined toward a 100 person capacity facili- ty; and suggested it may be more prudent to defer the maintenance facility at this point and extend its life with a new roof and minor repairs versus new construc- tion to buy some additional time. Mayor Roe agreed with his colleagues about housing the Historical Society at a location other than at the golf course. Regard- ing funding sources, Mayor Roe stated that he was concerned with completely depleting the Park Dedication or Golf Course Funds, as well as in dedicating the entire $400,000 remaining form the Park Renewal process. Mayor Roe noted ad- ditional needs already in play (e.g. Southwest Roseville park and way -finding signage as requested by the RVA) and having identified those possibly be funded from those remaining Park Renewal funds, and asked that the larger discussion remain at the forefront as well. In teens of park dedication funding, Mayor Roe noted that he had already identified CIP uses for that money. Mayor Roe noted
