<br /> <br />From: <br />Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 8:29 AM <br />To: city .council@ci.roseville.mn.us; dennis. welsch@ci.roseville.mn.us <br />Subject: Monday, July 12, Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Klausing, <br /> <br />I was upset that you cut me off during Monday's City Council meeting. <br />I understand that your job as a facillitator and Mayor is to keep the Council <br />meetings progressing and within time limits. <br /> <br />Here are the reasons I was upset <br /> <br />1. I attended the previous city council meeting and had some rebuttals to <br />Mr. Shardlow comments but was unable to speak since the meeting <br />was a work-study session. Mayor you promised me the chance to speak <br />at the next City Council meeting. <br /> <br />2. I and the other members of the Advisory Panel volunteered our time for <br />this, we were not paid for this as Mr. Shard low and the consultants. <br />I attended 8 out of the 11 panel meetings. <br /> <br />3. Invested time in compiling my Retail and Restaurant data, I believe this data <br />is very relevant because the developers have made the claim that the area <br />can handle more retail and restaurants. I have easily put in 100 hours of my <br />own time putting this data together. I know you and other members of the <br />council have a copy and it may be repetitive to all of you, but the public <br />has not heard it. The City Council meetings are a public forum. <br /> <br />4. During the Twin Lakes Advisory Panel meetings, there were times when <br />dissenting views were being presented and Mr. Shardlow would say were <br />are getting off track and cut people off to get back to the planned agenda. The final <br />Advisory Panel meetings were supposed to contain panel meeting feedback. <br />The 2nd to last meeting Mr. Shardlow, Mr. Johannson, and other speakers <br />monopolized the time to speak (they spoke for an 1 hour and 20 minutes <br />before any significant panel member input was taken, the meetings lasted 2 hours). <br /> <br />5. I feel my intelligence is insulted we developers make statements which <br />are misleading. <br /> <br />6. Lastly, I think it was rude and disrespectful for you to interrupt me as if <br />my opinions on this large development do not matter. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time, <br /> <br />Tim Kotecki <br />3078 Mount Ridge Road <br /> <br />8/4/2004 <br />
