As you weigh the inez-it� <br />of the Capital Investnzent requests,l strongly urge your su��ort for the City of <br />Roseville's bonding request for the Guidant John Rose Nliara��.esota OVAL. <br />There are many good reasons for the state to fund capital improvements for the OVAL: <br />•��ually generates more than a$2.5 million impact on the state's economy <br />• Serves constituents from throughout the State <br />• Provides an Olympic training facility <br />• Hosts international ice evcnts including the Women's World Bandy <br />Charnpionsllip in February 2006 <br />• Attracts more than 100,0001oca1, national az�d international visitors each year <br />• Promotes family friendly activities that encourage a healthy lifestyle <br />'�`l�e City estimates that it would cost $960,000 to ��al�e necessary capital repairs to tl�z� <br />regional facility. This is a small investment compared to many of the requests you will <br />likely see. But that money has a direct impact on Minnesota's economy, and more <br />importantly it has a direct impact on Minnesota families. The OVAL offers a safe <br />environment where all members of a family cai� enjoy activities that promote an active <br />lifestyle. <br />Please include the Guidant John Rose Mz���esata OVAL in your Capital �i7vestm�nt <br />proposal. <br />Sincerely, � <br />� �t � ��� w �� <br />� � <br />���tik�tir��.ii��.Klausing ,� <br />Cit�of Raseva�le � <br />PS Olympic Gold Medal Winner Bo��nie Blair also supports t11is funding request for the <br />OVAL -- perhaps in order to assure that you will givc her a rematcl� after your stunning <br />victo�-y a couple of years ago.
