Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 06, 2014 Page 18 Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte; McGehee; Willmus; Etten; and Roe. Nays: None. Finance& Budget Councilmember Etten advised that he continued to be interested in serving; how- ever, as he brought up previously, he wondered if this should continue as a City Council Subcommittee or become a Citizen Advisory Commission. Councilmembers agreed that more discussion was needed before making that de- cision; and by consensus TABLED action. Council Ad-Hoc Subcommittees Commissions, Review Ad-Hoc Subcommittees Councilmember Etten suggested that this subcommittee would no longer be need- ed, depending on the outcome of tonight's discussion specific to this issue; and opined that if needed, it could be re-established at a later date. By consensus, Councilmembers agreed that, this subcommittee would continue in its present membership until its work was completed. Other Activities—Information only—not Council-designated Councilmember McGehee suggested reappointment as a slate. Mayor Roe interrupted that potential motion by clarifying that the slate was no longer current, with the former City Manager serving on the LMC Policy Com- mittee for Improving Fiscal Futures, with Mayor Roe moving into that role. Mayor Roe noted that any Councilmember in MN can serve on any of these bod- ies; however, Open Meeting laws would need to be observed if a Council quorum was in attendance at one time. Mayor Roe suggested that Councilmembers take their involvement under advisement; clarifying that they were more for infor- mation purposes, and suggested they all consider attending as applicable. Councilmember McGehee expressed her interest in ensuring the City Manager was involved in and provided adequate representation for Roseville in the League of MN Cities and Metro Cities organizations. Mayor Roe agreed with that intent; however, he cautioned that required involve- ment not be onerous for the City Manager, noting that each organization had four subcommittees. Councilmember Etten agreed that the City Manager needed to be involved in local and area organizations (e.g. Rotary) and had included that request to the Interim City Manager as part of the subcommittee's request and as part of his professional responsibilities.
