Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 14, 2016 Page 16 Mayor Roe stated his appreciation for the reminder about the Historical Society needs in case a solution didn’t work out with a future golf course clubhouse facili- ty. Councilmember McGehee opined that displays by the Roseville Historical Socie- ty at City Hall was most appropriate.

Mr. Miller opined that just the process itself and actual construction was staggering to con- sider in less than two years.
