Regular City Council Meeting Monday, July 11, 2016 Page 2 Ramsey County Sheriff. Ms. Mills publically thanked Roseville Police Chief Rick Mathwig for his help and feedback, and willingness to be interviewed as well as serving on the panel. As conclusions were arrived at, Ms. Mills noted a subsequent meeting with Ramsey County Attorney john Choi was held focusing on domestic violence as well as with the Executive Director of the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) on training efforts. Ms. Mills advised that a consensus of the LWV was achieved in April of 2016 based on findings of this comprehensive report and represented the position of the LWV. Ms. Mills shared the position statements from the report. Ms. Mills advised that this report had been electronically distributed to the City Council several weeks ago, and noted print copies and electronic copies were also available for the public through the LWV website, as well as viewing the panel discussions held in developing the study at lwvroseville.org or on Facebook at www. facebook. com/romafh.lwv. Mayor Roe thanked the LWV for the report and the study that went into its prepa- ration. b. Carolyn Cushing, Roseville resident and Member of the LWV On a personal note, Ms. Cushing reviewed her vast service to the community and area in donating time in the community and area as a resident since 1963, as well as serving as the past President of the LWV. Ms. Cushing noted she had always been proud of living in Roseville and proud of its government, thus her service on various committees with and for Roseville and for Ramsey County. Ms. Cushing expressed her personal distress that the LWV had been removed from the agenda to present their study; and to-date, the lack of questions received from the City Council. Ms. Cushing stated this was very different treatment from what the LWV had received from other communities in which they were involved, and and expressed her disappointment and lack of being aware of this ever having happened before. Ms. Cushing noted that the LWV had always been recognized � high-level and pertinent work on various issues. Ms. Cushing noted Mayor Roe's comments tonight seeking construction conversation; and opined it seemed to her that if anyone could do that, it was the LWV. Ms. Cushing also offered hard copies of the final report available to anyone mak- ing a request. Mayor Roe clarified that the LWV had not been removed from tonight's agenda; but having requested time on the agenda, given meeting time constraints, the broader point and purpose had been achieved in bringing the study forward for public awareness. 5.
