Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 17, 2017 Page 8 nancial support. Councilmember McGehee noted that Ms. Thompson had spoken to the more basic values of Roseville; and opined that the general constituency didn't need something similar to the Shoreview Community Center and even though they may like it, didn't necessarily want one built in Roseville. As pointed out by Councilmember Willmus, Councilmember McGehee noted that the com- munity had gathering places, athletic facilities and gyms spread throughout the community; and opined that this more diverse arrangement seemed to suit the Ro- seville constituency well. Councilmember Willmus noted that the community center interest has been around a long time, but that the concern continued to be funding, and significant community preference that it be funded through operating receipts, which was not feasible as the City of Maplewood was now finding out.

Councilmember Etten noted those included community use of facilities after school hours (e.g. pool, auditorium) and the different groups wanting use of those over-booked facilities, whether by the community or school. Councilmember Etten noted the need to take care of those basics and those com- munity assets based on their importance in the community for students and citi- zens. Board Member Boguszewski agreed with that perception as addressed by Coun- cilmembers Willmus and Etten, and identification line by line what is considered
