Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 8, 2013 Page 6 Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Etten; and Willmus. Nays: None. 10. Presentations a. Receive Presentation on Classification and Compensation Study Outcomes City of Roseville Human Resources Director Eldona Bacon was present for the presentation, and introduced Springsted Consultant Ms. Ann Antonsen.
