Mr. Keel noted that the visioning process would hopefully <br />1� serve as a point of reference for future decisions, as a living document, about what <br />1� Roseville should be; and was a product of significant public involvement, and thus <br />1�� representative of the community. Mr. Keel cautioned that the document, to remain <br />�� o effective and remain of value, needed to be periodically updated; and referenced by <br />�.1 the entire community as decisions are made about its future. <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />2� <br />2� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />Councilmember Pust arrived at this time. <br />Mr. Keel expressly thanked the subcommittee members, and their Chairpersons, <br />along with the residents and businesses in the community who became civically <br />engaged during this process and provided invaluable input, suggestions and enthu- <br />siasm to the project. <br />�� Mr. Keel noted that, in each category, common themes kept recurring; most no- <br />3 Z ticeably the community's desire for reasonable funding and fiscal management, <br />,�� with an inclination toward "frugality." <br />�� <br />�� Councilmember Kough expressed his personal appreciation to those who partici- <br />�� pated — both the committees and citizens. Councilmember Kough noted that, as an <br />�� elected official, the citizens he talked to appeared concerned with keeping current <br />�7 services intact. Councilmember Kough expressed his personal concerns regarding <br />�� whether the community needed more retail; opined the need for more pathways, <br />
