City Council Regular Meeting - 04/25/05 Minutes - Page 6 K. Don Dame, 6740 Ashwood Rd, Woodbury, MN Mr. Dame reviewed his past concerns related to a Roseville Police Department investigation and refusal of the Police Chief and the City Manager to meet with him and an individual Council person related to his concerns regarding the case and subsequent investigation. Mr. Dame called for the firing of the City Manager and Police Chief for insubordination. Mr. Dame further spoke to the Council's consideration of their Rules and Procedures, opining that citizens should not be limited to the amount of time they wish to address the City Council, however opining that a five minute time frame seemed reasonable unless the subject were more complex than normal; and further opined that public comments should not be limited to Roseville citizens, as some decisions affected a broader audience that just its citizens. Mr. Dame concluded by questioning the City's policy for providing public information, comparing his past experiences in Roseville to the community of Woodbury, and left a copy of the City of Woodbury's copying cost policy for City Council review and consideration. L. Chris Hughes, 1779 Rose Place Mr. Hughes used the quotations on the gymnasium walls to encourage the City Council to actively engage in listening to the citizens and giving weight to their comments related to the Twin Lakes Redevelopment project, opining that there was little enthusiasm for the project. Mr. Hughes encouraged the City Council to turn this opportunity around to serve the best interests of the community by voting down the proposed project and standing behind the community and citizens. M. Della Gunard, 1716 Ryan Avenue Ms. Gunard questioned whether residents could afford to continue living in the community if taxes continued to mcrease.
