City Council Study Session - 09/20/04 Minutes - Page 23 Rose award has had significant meaning and you all turned it into a mockery, by your lack of respect in not attending a short 10 minute presentation. Mayor, Council members and Neal, you were there representing the City in your leadership capacity and you could not even put aside your petty dislike of our past mayor to attend his receiving the Rose award for his past service to the city. By you not attending this ceremony you did not show respect to the mayor's position or the City of Roseville. I personally believe what you did was wrong, and immature." "Neal, there was no photo coverage of the Rose award. You had Tim video Craig, and take photos of Amy and Tom's presentations, but nobody took any photos of the Rose award. Neal you should have made sure those photos were taken. Neal, you showed lack of leadership by not making sure all activities ran smoothly. You stood in the background as a member of the audience and let things happen as they may. When Amy was trying to start her presentation and could not be heard by the audience nobody stepped forward except John K and took charge and got the audiences attention. Also, to hold the Rose award in the new Council Chambers was a good idea, even though it meant moving the entire audience a second time and that is extremely difficult. It did mean though, that someone needed to take charge and make sure everyone got to the Council Chambers after the time capsule presentation. Since we did not have any rehearsal or discussion with the Council in advance, Neal you should have stepped in or had staff directing residents on where to go next. Tom was so worried about his flag ceremony that he did not mention the Rose Ceremony until John stepped in again to remind Tom what was next item on the agenda." "With all that said, I am going to repeat my presentation, here and now so those that missed it can hear it and so it goes into the record:" {09.18.04 Schroeder Open House speech} "Hello, I am Council member Greg Schroeder and I would like to personally welcome all of you to our new city hall and city center campus. This morning you have witnessed a ribbon cutting, unveiling of the monument plaques, and the sealing of the time capsule. But none of these things would have occurred today without the leadership of Mayor John Kysylyczyn.
