Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, October 22,2012 <br /> Page 34 <br /> Member Grefenberg opined that another under-represented group in Roseville <br /> was renters. <br /> Councilmember Pust noted the work currently being undertaken by the City's <br /> Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) for rental licensing, with the <br /> proposal for providing a list of tenants to be used for various notification and in- <br /> formation purposes. <br /> Member Grefenberg opined that such an available resource would make these <br /> recommendations more reasonable. <br /> Member Ramundt advised that, even with tenants changing, rather than know- <br /> ing their names,just knowing the number of tenants needing recognized would <br /> be helpful. <br /> Item 4: Provide public participation support,training and resources <br /> Members Grefenberg and Gardella referenced an attachment included in the re- <br /> port from the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC); and encouraged"City Council <br /> review of that document. <br /> Item 5: Enhance print communications and dissemination <br /> Member Ramundt noted there must be a method to approach leaders in each <br /> specific neighborhood. <br /> Councilmember Pust noted the need to recognize that all people may not have <br /> access to electronic communication, and they must continue to have printed ma- <br /> terials available to access. <br /> Item 6: Enhance website and electronic communications <br /> Member Grefenberg noted, as an example, the difficulty for a resident applying <br /> for a commission and seeking an online application without initially contacting <br /> staff by phone. Member Grefenberg opined that the City's website needed sig- <br /> nificant updating and revising. <br /> Mayor Roe noted the under-utilized status of C-TV (Channel 16) as a commu- <br /> nication tool; and suggested highlights of staff and others available to produce <br /> informational/educational pieces for residents. <br /> Councilmember Pust suggested high school classes, senior citizen groups, as <br /> well as other groups to tap into for these efforts. <br /> Councilmember Willmus noted the difficulty (Section 6.4) in contacting a <br /> Commission with an attachment; noting the need to correct this omission. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding availability of staff assistance on weekends for res- <br /> idents seeking contact; the need to recognize Open Meeting Law provisions and <br />
