Based upon their review and ihe Iegal risk potential to the City, the City <br />Atiorney's recomtnendation is that the City not pursue this ordinance and adop# a policy as is being suggested. <br />Having had the opportunity to discuss this matter with them, I would concur with their recommendation. <br />I know the Human Rights Comniission meets on March l lth. If you would like to have this matter placed on <br />the agenda, please let me or Caralyn know. In the meantimc, please feel free to call me with questions. <br />r3ill Malinen <br />City Managcr <br />City of Roseville, MN 55113 <br />2660 Civic Center Drive <br />651.792.7021 <br />
