Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 18, 2008 Page 5 At the request of Mayor Klausing, City Manager Bill Malinen briefly reviewed this item, along with Parks and Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke. Mayor Klausing sought clarification, in consideration of the already-identified 2009 budget constraints, if the City Council wished to approve this item, based on the matching $8,000 in-kind services and financial support requirement of the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council. Discussion ensued regarding the source of matching funds, identified by staff as already planned and budgeted in 2008 Park Improvement Program (PIP) funds and/or through contributions of the Roseville Central Park Foundation; Requests for Proposals (RFP's) for the original artwork currently being developed; and staff noting that a final report will be provided to the City Council on the source of in-kind services and funds once finalized. Ihlan moved, Roe seconded, approval of acceptance of a grant from the Metro- politan Regional Arts Council for $8,000 to commission and install an original piece of art at the Frank Rog Amphitheatre with matching in-kind services and fi- nancial support valued at $8,000.00 Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Pust; Roe; Willmus; and Klausing.

Consider Re-appropriation of Imagine Roseville 2025 Funds City Manager Malinen briefly reviewed the request for re-appropriation of the remaining $44,000 in 2008 Imagine Roseville 2025 initiative funding to initiate the Parks and Recreation Master Planning process. Councilmember Ihlan expressed concern, in light of recent budget discussions, in additional funding being available in the 2009 Budget to complete the Master Plan process, and questioned the rationale in making this a higher priority that funding for the Diseased Tree Program. Councilmember Ihlan spoke in support of the Master Plan process, and for the initial $40,000; however, expressed con- cern that if funding for the entire project was not immediately forthcoming in 2009, would the initial investment of $40,000 been fruitless, or would it serve as the first phase in a phased project as funds became available, without taking funds away from the City's core services.
