Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 14,2014 Page 6 Manager Trudgeon opined that he didn't anticipate the City falling out of compli- ance with the program. Councilmember Laliberte cautioned that entering into such positive programs as this were good steps to take, but the perception of making a decision that may not allow the City to continue in a program long-term was never good; and her goal was to ensure the City continued to meet requirements of the Minnesota Green- Step Cities Program. City Manager Trudgeon advised that the City was already meeting requirements, and did qualify; but reiterated that if the City chose to strive for a higher step in the future, there may be a cost that would require further discussion by the City Council. Councilmember McGehee thanked staff for bringing this forward, since she had understood that the process had been started some time ago, but didn't realize a formal resolution was needed. Councilmember McGehee opined that the program had been impressively presented jointly by the PWETC and former Roseville Communications Specialist Tim Pratt. Councilmember McGehee further opined that this was a good program, allowing the City to work toward sustainability ef- forts and enhancing the goals of the "Living Smarter" marketing campaign, and represented a program designed for long-term sustainability. Councilmember Etten echoed the comments of Councilmember McGehee; and advised that his rationale in bringing the item up was that the program provided a number of positive ways to run the City for the health of its residents, the budget and overall operations. Etten moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11162 (Attachment A) entitled, "Resolution Authorizing the City of Roseville to Participate in the Minnesota GreenStep Cities Program."
