Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 03, 2008 Page 21 maintenance, their club could assist with that, with the goal of maintaining or in- creasing membership of their club through additional advertising. Wally Myllenbeck, Roseville Lion's Club, and representing 7 service clubs Mr. Myllenbeck expressed appreciation for Mr. Fadden's and Mr. Gustafson's comments; and thanked the Public Works, Environment and Transportation Com- mission for their study and proposed sign design and its various components. Mr. Myllenbeck spoke in support of the proposed locations, noting that the proposed logos included those of the Rotary; American Legions; VFW; Kiwanis; and Lion's. Mr. Myllenbeck announced his pleasure in the further pledged commit- ment of $3,000 collectively from those clubs to offset the cost of the signs, to be paid when the logos were installed. Further discussion included other service organizations; and volunteer time and whether there would be a commitment from the organizations for landscaping and/or maintenance. Cliff Gustafson, Rosetown Memorial Legion Post The speaker noted the percentage of gambling proceeds received by the City from the various clubs; and funds in the Roseville Community Fund used for grants to the clubs for the City's youth and/or elderly, amounting to thousands of dollars annually. Mayor Klausing acknowledged those contributions, and assured the speaker and the public that the City Council was very aware of the good accomplished through those funds. Mr. Jan Vanderwall, member of Roseville Rotary Club, and member of the City's Public Works, Environment and Transportation Commission Mr. Vanderwall noted that signs indicating various service organizations also spoke to the quality of a community when the logos indicated that there was ac- tive volunteerism in the community represented by these service organizations. John Kysylyczyn, 3083 N Victoria Street Mr. Kysylyczyn noted that he was not a member of a service organization, but expressed his perception of the sign's image and questioned if that was the image wished to be portrayed; and questioned the projected cost of each sign above and beyond that originally brought forward, with more signs at a smaller cost origi- nally anticipated. Mr. Kysylyczyn opined that discussing how much of a financial contribution would be made by the service organizations was a reversed priority, and discussion should be in the City voluntarily putting up service logos to recog- nize their contribution to the community.
