Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 23,2011 Page 10 cil discussions, noting that if the City was to pursue a referendum, Ramsey Coun- ty needed to know by August 27, 2011 for a 2011 fall levy referendum. Discussion among presenters and the City Council included notices for park con- stellation meetings; specific improvements not being considered for each park as part of the discussion with area residents attending constellation tours, as the data was still too new and not having been vetted by the City Council yet, as well as not having a full understanding on the amount of money and kinds of improve- ments to pursue; but information more available later in the summer for those types of discussions. Chair Etten advised that it was the goal of the Implementation groups to be as open as possible and get input from citizens; with Councilmember Johnson opin- ing that this was a golden opportunity to touch base with more residents and have them take stake in the process, with it helpful to the groups' goals in the process to provide information specific to certain parks at the earliest convenience. Chair Etten advised that the groups would put as much time as possible in getting the information together, by meeting with decision-makers to determine actual potential realities. Further discussion included proposed presentation of raw data from the random statistical survey, the online survey, and the surveys performed early in the Master Plan process at various neighborhood meetings. Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Etten and Ms. Pederson for their presentations. As Finance Chair of the Rosefest Parade, Ms. Pederson noted buttons, at $3.00 each, were available as a means to help finance the parade and other Rosefest events; and were available for sale at various locations and through multiple loca- tions, as well as available at tonight's meeting. Ms. Pederson thanked people in advance for their support of the parade. 11. Public Hearings a.
