Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 8, 2016 Page 34 through if the city provided any other benefits. However, if the intent was to help and encourage residents to build a more cohesive neighborhood in a formal or in- formal way, Councilmember Laliberte stated she was all for that, even though that was only one tiny part of this report. Mayor Roe stated his tendency to agree with taking the first baby step of ac- knowledging the city felt there was a benefit in people forming NAs and a will- ingness to prove basic tools as resources. While he found this "tool kiY' a good idea, Mayor Roe stated he wasn't supportive of tracking and providing grant in- formation. Mayor Roe clarified that he wasn't suggesting authorizing the tool kit tonight, but stated that may be the first step in the future. Mayor Roe stated he didn't want to lose sight of this report and some of its suggestions; all toward the effort of encouraging neighborhoods to work together. Mayor Roe stated his take away from tonight's discussion was that there remained a lot of questions yet be- fore moving forward with any steps. Councilmember McGehee agreed that she wasn't ready to proceed even if the tool kit was very simple like that put together for organized trash hauling. However, Councilmember McGehee expressed her lack of understanding of the City Coun- cil's motivation in trying to make neighborhoods into NAs. Mayor Roe clarified that this was not what he said; and restated his comment that he felt it was important for the city to acknowledge the benefit of associations, not disadvantages, by making positive communication efforts through that acknowl- edgement rather than the status quo which in effect served to discourage it. 14. City Manager Future Agenda Review City Manager Trudgeon provided a preview of upcoming agenda items. 15. Councilmember-Initiated Items for Future Meetings Mayor Roe requested meeting minutes of the June 21, 2016 Roseville Economic Devel- opment Authority (REDA) meeting be reviewed for approval at the next scheduled City Council meeting. Unless there was a reason not to do so offered by the REDA's legal counsel, Mayor Roe suggested future REDA meeting minutes be approved by the City Council as well, rather than waiting for the next REDA meeting to allow posting them on the city's website for public information without further delay. City Manager Trudgeon reported that staff had intended to distribute them as part of the upcoming August 29, 2016 REDA meeting; but would consult on process protocol for fu- ture reference. 16. Adjourn Meeting Etten moved, Laliberte seconded, adjournment of the meeting at approximately 9:43 p.m. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. Nays: None.
