Roseville, MN - Official Website <br />Page 20 of 31 <br />segment of County Road C -2 seemed somewhat of an ambiguous directive; <br />suggesting more of the same. From his interpretation, Councilmember <br />Johnson questioned whether fellow Councilmembers concurred. <br />Councilmember Pust opined that her interpretation was that staff was not <br />willing to say or believed that County Road C -2 be opened now; however, they <br />were not confident that it wouldn't be needed in the future, thus they were not <br />recommending permanently vacating the right-of-way. <br />Mayor Roe questioned Ms. Bloom on her projected availability for the additional <br />information requested. <br />Ms. Bloom advised that she would consult with Public Works Director Duane <br />Schultz to determine current workloads and a time when the additional <br />information would be available. Ms. Bloom advised that staff would include <br />this updated timeframe on the City's website for public awareness. <br />Councilmember McGehee questioned if Councilmember Pust's request for costs <br />at this time was a sufficient use of staff's time in creating additional work for <br />them to cost this out at this time, if staff's recommendation was to not open <br />County Road C -2 at this time, and to not vacate the right-of-way. <br />Councilmember Pust opined that, if the City Council determined to move <br />forward in the future, the figures provided by staff at this time wouldn't mean <br />much. <br />Councilmember Pust, with a l l due respect to staff, stated that she didn't always <br />follow staff's recommendation; and reiterated her request for cost estimates if <br />t County Road C -2 was opened at this time and a formal vote was proposed at <br />this time. <br />Councilmember McGehee questioned if Councilmember Pust needed those <br />costs to vote accordingly; with Councilmember Pust responding affirmatively. <br />In hearing no other dissenting support of Councilmember Pust's request; Mayor <br />Roe directed staff to proceed by letting the City Council know their projected <br />timeframe to provide this information; and to also keep the public informed <br />during the process. <br />Mayor Roe thanked the public for their interest and attendance; and while <br />recognizing that the City Council could not make every resident happy; he <br />assured citizens that the City Council would do their best. <br />Councilmember Pust opined that this was the most people she'd ever seen <br />come out for a particular issue in her seven (7) years of service on the City <br />Council; and while there were strongly divergent views, she commended <br />residents and neighbors for their respectful presentations and comments. <br />Councilmember Pust opined that it served as a fine example of democracy as <br />well as an example to future generations. <br />Recess <br />Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:50 pm and reconvened at approximately <br />8:51 pm. <br />b.
