Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, February 23, 2015 <br /> Page 32 <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Etten, McGehee, Laliberte and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> Councilmember Willmus suggested and sought discussion as to the City Coun- <br /> cil's desire for the HRA to convey property to the City, with the rationale that <br /> due to this process being fairly fluid it could move more rapidly with the City <br /> Council's more frequent meeting schedule versus that of the HRA, which may <br /> prove critical in getting something accomplished. <br /> Mayor Roe suggested this may be an appropriate topic of discussion at a joint <br /> meeting with the HRA. <br /> Willmus moved, Etten seconded, requesting sale of the HRA property on <br /> Cope Avenue to the City of Roseville. <br /> Councilmember McGehee spoke in support of the motion, given the details need- <br /> ed for a contract, Development Agreement and liability issues. Councilmember <br /> McGehee opined that the most important work of the whole process had been <br /> done and done in an excellent manner by the HRA in involving the neighborhood, <br /> and did not see the proposed action as a criticism of the HRA in any way. Coun- <br /> cilmember McGehee further opined that the HRA was the only entity to run the <br /> process to get everyone to this point. <br /> Councilmember Willmus concurred with Councilmember McGehee's comments. <br /> Councilmember McGehee agreed that the neighbors should see the plans for the <br /> 18 unit proposal, and the HRA should and could perform that task; but opined that <br /> the City Council's ability to complete any contracts in a quicker way would prove <br /> more beneficial. <br /> Councilmember Laliberte agreed as well; and opined that from this point on the <br /> City Council was in a better position to keep the project moving forward. Coun- <br /> cilmember Laliberte asked that the next meeting include the community as part of <br /> the process to avoid delaying getting that feedback into any next steps. <br /> At the suggestion of Mayor Roe, Councilmember Etten suggested involvement of <br /> the HRA in future decisions based on this expertise with the project and in hous- <br /> ing in general. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Etten, McGehee, Laliberte and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> At the request of Councilmember Willmus, City Manager Trudgeon advised that <br /> he would alert the HRA of the City Council's action, and at that point, determine <br />
