Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 14, 2017 Page 9 City Manager Trudgeon advised that funds had been held back by Mr. Brokke for the proposed park on Cleveland Avenue; but noted that no funds had yet been set aside for 1716 Marion Street as pointed out by Mayor Roe. Discussion ensued related to set-aside funds; annual CIP needs going forward; additional options for payback of the internal loan; compensation for differentials in operating costs; CIP needs outside of this proposed project; and confirmation by staff that the six new park facilities to-date had been incorporated into annual CIP projections. At the request of Councilmember Etten and Mayor Roe, staff was asked to pro- vide information on whether or not the Rosedale Center Park Dedication funds were included in the current balance or not to further inform this discussion. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 7:23 p.m., and reconvened at approximately 7:28 p.m. In response, Mr. Brokke clarified that the current Park Dedication Fund balance was $1.4 million; with $102,000 collected to-date on the Rosedale Center project, but not yet included in $1.3 million balance shown as available in the staff report in the packet. Given that additional information, Councilmember Etten stated that he would not feel comfortable leaving the SW Roseville Park Renewal Program funds un- marked nor the use of Park Dedication Fund funds for the clubhouse project at an additional $600,000 beyond that recommended by staff, but would support an in- crease in the proposed amount of the internal loan. If additional TIF or park dedi- cation fees come in, Councilmember Etten suggested that they immediately be applied toward that internal loan as soon as possible. Specific to funding of the proposed project, Etten moved, Roe seconded, direct- ing staff to reduce the Park Dedication Fund contribution to the project fund- ing by $500,000 and add that same amount to the proposed internal loan fund- ing. Councilmember Etten noted the many meetings in which he had participated in during the Park Renewal Program process and commitment made to SW Rose- ville residents to invest park monies in that area. Therefore, Councilmember Et- ten stated his difficulty in using those funds. While agreeable to use other Park Renewal Program dollars, Councilmember Etten stated that he was not willing to lose funds from the Park Dedication Fund in response to that commitment. Councilmember Willmus stated that his current concerns were with the proposed timeline and impacts that would require funding of any defined projects in SW Roseville at this time. Councilmember Willmus questioned if there were any is- sues that would allocating or reallocating monies for that specific use, and asked staff for additional information.
