Mayor Klausing asked that participants keep in consideration the common goals of all parties, no matter their opinion, in the long- term overall benefits to the City, and asked that the tone of the meeting remain one of friends and neighbors discussing issues, and that the tone not become adversarial. Mayor Klausing introduced Roseville Financial and Legal Consultant Jim Casserly, of the firm of Krass Monroe, P.A. Discussion ensued among Councilmembers and Mayor Klausing as to whether Mr. Casserly should make a brief presentation, or if the meeting should proceed immediately into public comment. After considerable discussion and a polling of individual Councilmembers, Mayor Klausing, as Chair, suggested a compromise that provided an opportunity for the City's financial consultant, Mr. Casserly, to frame up the issues to facilitate public discussion in an effort to address some of the misconceptions and present the factual information, to be followed by public discussion. Mayor Klausing asked that the preferences of a majority of the Council be recognized in attempting to keep the comments as closely related to the financial aspects of the proposed project as possible, with some leeway allowed for pertinent issues. Mayor Klausing noted that, if the project proceeds, a land use plan will come forward at the Planning Commission public hearing level, followed by the City Council, with more public comment received at those opportunities.
