Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,April 15, 2013 <br /> Page 22 <br /> Mr. Trudgeon again supported his ranking rationale by noting that this was also a <br /> mandatory function of his department for the City. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte advised that she was confused with the same descrip- <br /> tion for Codes 1, 3 and 4 regarding enforcement and organizational management, <br /> inadvertently thinking that indicated a duplication of functions. Councilmember <br /> Laliberte advised that it now made sense to her after this discussion. <br /> Mr. Trudgeon noted that this was his fault in not looking at this twice, since each <br /> area of enforcement was a different function: code, planning, nuisance and zon- <br /> ing. <br /> As a follow-up, Mayor Roe suggested refining and clarifying those definitions. <br /> Finance Department Programs <br /> Business Licenses (Code 4) <br /> Finance Director Miller noted that this was mandated by City Code, and therefore <br /> he ranked it accordingly as a"7." <br /> At the request of Mayor Roe as to the level of service for the function, Mr. Miller <br /> questioned why the City would choose not to provide excellent service for that <br /> function; with Mayor Roe noting that this function was self-sustaining based on <br /> fees as well. <br /> Contractual Services (Roseville Visitors Association and Housing & Redevelop- <br /> ment Authority) (Code 7) <br /> Mr. Miller noted the definition itself was the key word, thus his ranking as a"7." <br /> (Code 9) <br /> In his ranking for Economic Development, Mr. Miller concurred with the ra- <br /> tionale of Mr. Trudgeon; and if you were starting a city from scratch, it was a nice <br /> function; however, he questioned how critical it was for the City's short-term ob- <br /> jectives and aspirations, since to him it appeared a more long-term objective, <br /> without necessary resources currently committed. During his twelve (12) year <br /> tenure, Mr. Miller noted the laissez-faire perspective to development; however, he <br /> admitted he was hearing something different from the City Council at tonight's <br /> discussion from previous indications. <br /> Lawful Gambling Community Donations; Gambling Licenses and Reports (Codes <br /> 33 and 34) <br /> Mr. Miller noted that these are also a requirement of current City Code, therefore <br /> mandated. However, Mr. Miller suggested that the City could consider getting <br /> out of lawful gambling regulation or determining which groups received gambling <br />
