Anne Collopy,3155 Old Highway 8 Ms. Collopy noted that she was speaking as a Roseville resident, not in her role as a member of the City's Ethics Commission. Ms. Collopy advised that she had re- cently completed "Roseville University;" and referenced a conversation with her neighbor questioning why there were eight (8) tabs in the Roseville U notebook, but only seven (7) sessions. Ms. Collopy suggested, as she thought about that ex- tra tab, that next year's sessions include one with the chairs or members of each of the City Council's Advisory Commissions about their specific functions; as a way to educate residents about those Commissions and to alert them to possible areas of service of which they may have an interest. On an unrelated note, Ms. Collopy advised that since she lived only three (3) blocks from Saint Anthony Community Center, actually geographically across the street from her, she attended their exercise class for "old ladies;" entitled, "Over 50 and Fit." In reviewing the City of Roseville's Parks and Recreation class of- ferings, she noted that their class was year-round, but that Saint Anthony held theirs quarterly, with a shorter session during the summer months; and charged a much higher fee for their sessions than that of Roseville's fee of$16 for the entire year. Ms. Collopy suggested that the City of Roseville consider increasing their fees to bring in extra revenue. Ms. Collopy further noted the multiple recycling bins at the Saint Anthony City Hall, including bins for cell phones, batteries, and other recycling items, and sug- gested that Roseville City Hall consider similar offerings.
