Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 17,2015 Page 30 d. Discuss Policy Priority Planning Document Deferred to a future agenda. 16. City Manager Future Agenda Review 17. Councilmember-Initiated Items for Future Meetings HRA Councilmember Laliberte expressed her lack of closure from the joint meeting with the HRA and clear distinction of their plans moving forward, asking if her colleagues were left with the same lack of clarify. Councilmember Laliberte questioned if all members present were in agreement, noting that two HRA Board members were absent and one was noticeably quiet and unresponsive at the meeting, causing her to wonder if they were all in agreement with the new strategic plan. Also, Councilmember Laliberte noted a lack of discussion on overlap of the existing 2012-2016 HRA Strategic Plan and how and where this new plan picked up and those items if any that carried over into the update. City Manager Trudgeon sought clarification if Councilmember Laliberte or any Coun- cilmembers anticipated information needs beyond preparation of the HRA's 2016 budget. Mayor Roe concluded that the council directed City Manager Trudgeon to bring response to the concerns expressed by Councilmember Laliberte forward as part of the HRA's pre- liminary budget and levy discussion. Police Department Councilmember Laliberte requested discussion at a future meeting on next steps resulting from the statement read by Mayor Roe earlier this evening, and the City Council's re- sponse to events across the country with Police Departments beyond equipment and budget discussions. Councilmember Laliberte suggested policy discussions regarding use of tasers, high speed chases, and other issues officers dealt with on a daily basis. Mayor Roe questioned if the Council meeting was the best place for learning more about various components of the job, even though it would be beneficial for the public to learn as well, but suggested it may be more appropriate as part of a future Roseville University offering. City Manager Trudgeon advised that use of force and other information related to the Po- lice Department had been scheduled for this last session of Roseville University; howev- er, it had to be postponed due to the equipment borrowed from the City of Columbia Heights' Police Department not working; assuring the City Council and public that it would be offered in future courses.
