City Council Regular Meeting — 04/10/06 DRAFT Minutes - Page 2 A. Lucille Calguire, Ramsey Square Condominiums Ms. Calguire expressed concern regarding the potential fate or demise of the Fairview Community Center; recognizing that the School District owned the facility, but requesting that the City Council use their influence to make sure that it would be available to the community if the Fairview Community Center were no longer used. Ms. Calguire further noted that a swimming pool designated for school students would not be conducive to senior citizen programming, as the temperature was not warm enough. Ms. Calguire encouraged the City of Roseville to take over the Fairview Community Center to ensure that it remained available to the community. Mayor Klausing noted that the City Council and I�oseville School Board had met this past Saturday to discuss joint areas of interest, and the topic of the Fairview Community Center's future was a topic and would continue to be discussed, as well as the community's interest in pursuing a community center. Councilmember Kough thanked Ms. Calguire for her comments, concurring with her comments as echoed throughout the community. B. Tam McGehee, 77 Mid Oaks Lane Ms. McGehee spoke to a recent article in the Sunday, April 9, 2006 Pionee� P�ess regarding retail development in the City of Roseville, and quotes from John Shardlow and Community Development Director Dennis Welsch. Ms. McGehee opined that the City already had sufficient retail, requiring an inordinate amount of designated funding from the Police and Fire Department budgets. Ms. McGehee suggested that the City should spend taxpayer monies doing "our own business, rather than accommodating more retail centers; speal�ing specifically to the proposed Twin Lakes Development and use of tax increment financing.
