City Council Meeting Retreat Tuesday, February 18, 2015 Page 16 Councilmember Etten expressed his amazement at the number of and interest in du- plexes in Roseville, which he attributed to a symptom of the modest upkeep for own- ers. Councilmember Etten stated that this suggested the need to make sure housing stock included not just individual single-family homes, but also included MDR op- tions as well. Councilmember Willmus opined that he didn't attribute this to identifying any partic- ular market segment at all, but thought Roseville was still missing certain types of homes. Mayor Roe opined this sounded like another indicator and shouldn't be lumped in with this one. Councilmember Laliberte stated that she was struggling with this stage of the exer- cise, as it seemed that at each stage the discussion veered farther away from the initial SWOT. While originally talking about move-up housing stock, Councilmember Laliberte noted that the conversation was now moving toward reinforcing the housing code enforcement program already in place and very successful versus identifying yesterday's discussion about housing diversity and the City's lack of some types of housing stock. Mayor Roe opined there were more indicators in this section of housing and redevel- opment. Finance Director Miller opined that he would find it of a huge advantage to see the work done by the subgroups two hours ago, as well as that done 24 hours ago next to this part of the exercise to help connect the dots. Mr. Miller noted that what was now being reviewed had been distilled down several times, and seems to be causing the discussion to flounder indicating that the group had lost its way. Community Development Director Bilotta noted that his subgroup had struggled with the whole KOI and how to define the number of units and what move-up housing or median housing was. Finance Director Miller suggested it would be clearer if seen from his subgroup's work, admitting that his subgroup struggled mightily in defining their own KOI's. Recess Mr. Rapp recessed the meeting at approximately 2:26 p.m. and reconvened at approximately 2:38 p.m. After the break, Mr. Rapp clarified that most important step at hand is getting the KOI's correct. Mr. Rapp advised that the targets may or may not be fully fleshed out; and he would summarize everything accomplished, including a table and summary of all of the SWOT and information contained in the flip charts from various subgroups and the group as a whole in his draft report.
