Ms. Berry noted that the <br />City's Metropolitan Council representative, Ms. Chris Sanda, noted that there was <br />a circulator bus that served the community; however, many expressed a lack of <br />knowledge of the scheduling and complained about the consistency of service. <br />Ms. Berry suggested there may be ways to better publicize the routes and schedule. <br />� Councilmember Pust noted that there was the circulator bus serving seniors <br />� through the Community Education program, as well as the NSSC that ran a shuttle <br />1� bus. She opined that this was one example of two different entities trying to run a <br />11 transit service, designed for the same population, and neither breaking even opera- <br />�� tionally; and suggested this was a good area to begin seeking to make one program <br />1� as administratively efficient as possible, and a way to determine actual need, how <br />1� to achieve efficiencies, how to establish fees, and how to accomplish a good pro- <br />1 � gram. <br />7 E� <br />]� Mr. Majerus noted that the underlying point with citizens discussing finance and <br />1� revenue issues, was that while visioning is wonderful, we as a community need to <br />1� know what it's going to cost, and to be clear on where the money is coming from <br />��D and where it's going. <br />�t <br />�2 <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />� �� <br />�f <br />Ms. Berry noted that the community's willingness to invest was reflected in the <br />successes of levy referendums for the City as well as the School District. <br />Mr. �Vlajerus observed that success was due to established goals, vision, commu- <br />nity education and involvement and clarity of each issue. <br />�� Councilmember Ihlan questioned whether comments were heard regarding promo- <br />�� tion and encouragement of sma11 business in Roseville, and if that diverse revenue <br />3�7 base was reflected in goal statements. <br />31 <br />3� Mr. Keel noted that those issues were reflected in strategies, and were supportive <br />�;� of small businesses. <br />�� <br />�� Next Steps / Implementation <br />3� Mr. Keel noted that the goals and strategies were a nice picture of what citizens <br />�7 wanted the community to look like; however, that the implementation plan would <br />�� be handed over to the City Council to achieve results. <br />�� <br />
