Responsive Governance for Roseville. For the benefit of the audience, Mayor Roe announced that a petition requesting an En- vironmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) had been filed on Monday, April 16, 2012; and that this would create a delay in the City Council's consideration of plat approval for the proposed Wal-Mart development until the EAW had been addressed. Until that time, Mayor Roe advised that the City Council would not take that issue up; and noted that the City Council, as the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) had up to thirty (30) days to determine the validity of the petition; and anticipated that the City Council may have the issue before it at one of their May meetings. However, Mayor Roe ad- vised that the normal means of communication would be used to keep the public alert to the situation. 3. Public Comment Mayor Roe called for public comment by members of the audience on any non-agenda items. No one appeared to speak at this time.
