Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 19, 2012 Page 19 • Page 2 (existing work plan, lines 34-40), include all long-term items as tools in the tool box under that broad category Councilmember Johnson noted that a Council majority wanted to pursue the local sales tax option. City Manager Malinen advised that he would incorporate the changes suggested and reformat the document to be brought forward at a future meeting for formal City Council adoption. Councilmember McGehee suggested that the strategic plan look at the City's role in fostering redevelopment city-wide, not just specific to the Twin Lakes Rede- velopment Area. Mayor Roe suggested that, while it could be tweaked, the long-term objective for the City should be to develop and implement such a strategy. Mayor Roe noted that he and City Manager Malinen had concurred that the aspi- ration statements be separated for discussion in the future; with Councilmembers all concurring. e. Discuss Fiscal Disparities and Retail Impact Studies A bench handout from the Vernon R. Eidman, U of MN Professor Emeritus—De- partment of Applied Economics, and Roseville resident and neighbor of Coun- cilmember McGehee at 90 Mid Oaks Lane;" was provided and entitled, "Fiscal Impacts of Adding Retail to County Road C in Roseville;" attached hereto and made a part hereof. Mayor Roe noted that Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon was unfortunately unable to attend tonight's meeting, but referenced his written report as submitted. City Manager Malinen provided an overview of the information provided, seeking City Council feedback; recognizing that a much broader and more philosophical discussion was needed to determine how these analyses drive land use discussions and decisions of the City Council. Mayor Roe noted the impact study idea and the fiscal disparities idea; and noted the question was whether fiscal disparities impact decision-making for land use; and how the impact study analysis fit into those decisions. Councilmember McGehee advised that she had spoken to Mr. Trudgeon earlierin the day, and was prepared to make an opening statement; and referenced the bench handout provided by Professor Eidman which was based on his review and analysis of the fiscal disparities materials included in the packet.
