Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 12, 2018 Page 10 Councilmember Willmus suggested removing question 26 but leaving in 27 through 3 0. Councilmember McGehee suggested removing 26 and keeping 27 through 30. It is important to note this is not information just for the Parks and Rec Department, it is also helpful information for the Council. The Council had back-and-forth discussion as to which questions to keep, and de- cided to keep all the questions, unless space becomes an issue. Mr. Bowman noted there was much discussion back in 2016 as to how and whether to ask questions 33 and 34 about a possible future Community Center: 33. Do you support or opposed the building of a Community Center by the City of Roseville? 34. If a Community Center were built, how likely would you or mem- bers of your household be to use the facility -- very likely, somewhat likely,not too likely, or not at all likely? Councilmember McGehee noted that while there has been support for the concept of a Community Center, but no support expressed for City funding. Those two questions should be paired. Councilmember Etten noted the favorability towards the Community Center in- creased in the 2016 survey. He agreed if the questions remain, the issue of fund- ing should be included. Mayor Roe commented the support for the Community Center and the willingness to use it are tied together. He would want one question to gauge the interest, fol- lowed by how much of an increase in a tax bill would you be willing to incur to pay for the Community Center. Councilmember Willmus stated.he desires to track community interest. However, if it is not something the City is going to initiate within 3-5 years, he questioned whether is it valid to have it in this survey. He is not passionate about it either way, but he fully agreed that the funding question must be included alongside in- terest. Councilmember McGehee commented the City just built a Clubhouse at the Golf Course, and it was not mentioned in the 2012, 2014, or 2016 survey, but most everyone on the Council was thinking about it at that time. If there is a desire to move forward with the Community Center, it should be on the survey.
