<br />City Council Study Session - 01/24/05 <br />Minutes - Page 4 <br /> <br />Ms. McGehee addressed an issue she would like discussed <br />at tonight's Traffic Summit related to pedestrian access, <br />particularly near Target and HarMar, along County Road B <br />and other safety issues with redevelopment in that area; as <br />well as the area between Cleveland and Highway 280 that <br />had become landlocked. <br /> <br />Ms. McGehee also addressed several issues related to the <br />recently-adopted 2005 Housing and Redevelopment <br />Authority (HRA) Levy, the amount of funding requested <br />and the lack of disclosure of remaining funds; and <br />requested that the City Council provide fiduciary oversight <br />of the HRA. Ms. McGehee opined that HRA types of <br />activities appeared to be better managed when it was <br />included in the Community Development Department. <br /> <br />Ms. McGehee questioned her perception of inconsistencies <br />in the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement between Rottlund <br />Homes and the City of Roseville; and language in the <br />City's own ordinances related to third party expense <br />reimbursement. <br /> <br />F. Joe Machyowsky, 2690 Oxford <br />Mr. Machyowsky spoke in support of the City's Police <br />Department and Police Chief Sletner; opining that it was <br />one of the finest departments in the Twin Cities area, and <br />that he didn't want people to get the wrong impression of <br />the department. <br /> <br />G. Al Sands, 2612 Aldine <br />Mr. Sands provided a bench handout, providing <br />information for a revised budget addressed to the HRA, and <br />questioned discrepancies in the cash-on-hand at end-of- <br />year 2004. <br /> <br />H. Karen Olson, Roseville Bingo Hall <br />Ms. Olson thanked the City Council for their <br />reconsideration of the closure of the median crossover on <br />Snelling A venue at Oakcrest Street; and expressed <br />appreciation from area businesses. <br />
