Cami Oren, 3150 W Owasso Boulevard <br />Ms. Oren expressed her lack of confidence in speaking up at the Truth-in-Taxation Hear- <br />ing; however, she noted that their home's value had gone down, but their taxes had gone <br />up, while their personal financial investments continued to decline. Ms. Oren opined that <br />they didn't have any more money available to pay more taxes, and opined that neither did <br />others in Roseville; that there just wasn't any more money to give. Ms. Oren asked that <br />Councilmembers be observant of what was going on with Roseville homeowners and <br />taxpayers, and make their decisions accordingly. Ms. Oren spoke in support of non- <br />residents paying higher user fees for using the skating center. <br />4.
