Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 11, 2013 Page 14 Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of anything that would make things better and find a resolution for the properties in the southeast section of Roseville, especially given the number of children in those units. Chair Maschka reiterated the HRA's intent to reward good properties and strongly address those not in compliance. In response to a comment by Councilmember McGehee related to rental licensing, HRA Member Masche noted the very nature of normal deterioration of many of the multi-family buildings built in the 1950's and 1960's; and of concern to a number of those HRA members having served for a considerable amount of time. During that time, Member Masche noted that the HRA had seen this licensing is- sue come and go; and while registration was now in place, licensing still had not been adopted. Now, with this next step as proposed, Member Masche expressed the excitement of the HRA in being able to address the part of their role in pro- tecting and enhancing Roseville properties in conjunction with the City Council. Based on the age of many of those multi-family properties, Member Masche opined that this was a reasonable reaction for all residents in Roseville to address those few properties not being maintained. Member Masche reiterated his ex- citement for the proposed licensing program, and expressed his hope that it could now move forward. Councilmember McGehee thanked the HRA for their work; opining that these were both exciting programs and tremendous assets for the community to make it better. Councilmember McGehee expressed her excitement about the process be- ing used in developing the Dale Street site, and the invitations sent out throughout the community to provide that information; and her anticipation for its success and civic engagement. In addressing outreach to the southeast section of Roseville, Acting Mayor Etten asked that consideration be given for whatever avenues were available to provide information to that population in their native language to make it possible for those residents to connect to the City and to include people in a way they can un- derstand and communicate back to the City as well. Chair Maschka expressed the HRA's excitement in getting both projects started; specifically the Dale Street project. However, he cautioned that it would prove an interesting project,but unfortunately come down to dollars in the end. 11. Public Hearings 12. Business Items (Action Items) a.
