Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 13, 2012 Page 20 Mayor Roe noted that many items on the existing work plan related to Twin Lakes had been completed and could be removed, with others modified or updat- ed, but accomplishable in the short-term. Mayor Roe suggested that the Twin Lakes item be incorporated into the general item, opining that it would continue to be a distinct area of focus since it was such a big part of the community. With Council consensus, City Manager Malinen advised that he would combine lines 57-63;remove line 75 (duplicate), and keeping line 99 as a separate item. Safe and Law Abiding(page 5-6) Mayor Roe observed that there seemed to be a lower level of items beyond the ac- tual work plan and day-to-day operations, and sought clarification of those items that required City Council authorization. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Police Chief Mathwig addressed the "trespass notice" and how effective it had proven as a tool to-date and MN case law supporting its use as a strategy to reduce theft crimes. With the consensus of all, Chief Mathwig suggested that lines 129, 130, and 131 be moved to the department level, not the work plan, as they were undertaken and proved effective in increasing the feeling of safety for Roseville residents, but didn't require additional expenses. At the request of City Manager Malinen, Fire Chief O'Neill noted that lines 119— 123 would require resources and would require City Council consideration and potential authorization for a pay and benefit package for part-time firefighters in order for the City to stay competitive in recruitment efforts. Mr. O'Neill agreed that lines 120, 123, and 126 could move to department level for incorporation, in addition to a portion of line 136. However, Mr. O'Neill preferred to leave line 136 as is for now until the reorganization was completed with new managers who would ultimately be responsible to update the City's Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) requiring that the City Council approve the new training and EOP require- ments later this summer for the 2013 budget. Mayor Roe noted that many of those actions were mandated, with Mr. O'Neill concurring and noting that the last update to the EOP was done 6-7 years ago and there had been significant changes in the requirements for the EOP that needed to be incorporated to make it consistent for successful funding and/or reimbursement if the City should experience a disaster. Mr. O'Neill noted that, once incorporated and approved, the City Council and staff would need to participate in training for a significant event, requiring some regulating discussions and approval at the City Council level. At the request of Councilmember Pust, Mr. O'Neill noted, due to federal health legislation currently being litigated and due to the recent recession regenerating
