Ideas Wall: <br />Serious Concern <br />What costs are associated with each option? <br />o The Master Plan consultant is developing some cost estimates for each of the <br />concepts/elements that will be presented to the City Council on September 21st. <br />Leave the campus as is, scrap your BIG plans. Live within your means. No more tax hikes, <br />PERIOD. <br />• Could we also see the cost of the consultant? <br />Big Change <br />• Has there been a thought about connecting the VFW to the Skating and Banquet Center? A lot <br />of opportunities for both venues to offer food and drink and space for larger events. The <br />movement in and out of the banquet center is already very congested. Perhaps the connection <br />of the two venues could open up the space more. <br />Future <br />Opportunities for both: <br />- Wedding banquets <br />- Sports banquets with onsite food service (VFW) available. <br />- Space for live music <br />- Live broadcasting for hockey events or Oval <br />The Civic Campus should include a community center that welcomes all residents of Roseville - <br />young and old. It should include a walking track, a water park, and could work well with the <br />skating and banquet centers. An Arts Center, visual and performing, should be considered. It <br />could display and promote the art of local artists and provide a concert venue like the Ames <br />Center in Burnsville. We lack a similar center in our area of the cities but don't lack for talented <br />local artisans. <br />As the surveys have shown, one of Roseville's biggest strengths is its parks. Understanding that <br />some of these improvements are unavoidable, this Civic Campus plan should be done as <br />economically as possible, with the thought that the city has other priorities such as its parks <br />system that need to be placed first. Please do not spend on any bells or whistles for the civic <br />center. Just do what's required as economically as possible. City hall is not a destination for most <br />Roseville residents. <br />Value <br />• SCRAP THIS PROJECT. <br />Activities <br />• One model that I think has done this well is St. Anthony Village which has its city hall connected <br />to a central park, awesome play ground, and schools. I believe the library is across the street. I <br />don't think Roseville should try to copy it exactly, but the final civic plan should find a way to <br />complement the awesome parks nearby: Howard Johnson, Central. Roseville should absolutely <br />not consider removing Howard Johnson. <br />
