Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 19, 2016 Page 15 Mr. Bowman noted there were 14,000 residential and 3,000 business mailings in- volved, and related production and mailing costs. City Manager Trudgeon advised he was hearing a desire to notify citizens of fu- ture topics without specificity as to a date for decision-making for future agenda items over the next few months or quarter. Mr. Trudgeon noted this could simply alert the public, and provide a contact number at City Hall for questions, addition- al information, or to provide that input. Mr. Trudgeon suggested staff could look at some of those upcoming topics and attempt to do a better job of alerting the public of them. Mayor Roe suggested using list serves or other options such as when people sign up for land use alerts may be one way to achieve that goal. Public Comment (7:54 pm Cynthia White, Roseville Resident If the City Council was aware of 3-4 topics a month ahead, Ms. White noted sev- eral mechanisms it had available to alert the public to them (e.g. municipal chan- nel on cable television, Twitter, Facebook, City Council agenda formats, NextDoor.com, etc.). If the city valiantly tried to get a cogent list ahead of time, Ms. White opined that those mechanisms could certainly serve the purpose with- out another avenue being sought or another monthly mailing and related costs. Councilmember Etten noted upcoming agendas were usually reviewed at the end of each City Council meeting. With evidence that the newsletter is well received and widely read by the public, Councilmember McGehee suggested a box in the newsletter of upcoming topics, with a contact number provided for the public to get additional information. Mr. Bowman noted the success of the budget meeting highlights in the newsletter, and suggested building on that idea. Without objection, Mayor Roe directed staff to continue the bi-monthly newslet- ter and work on those other options as discussed tonight. e.Adopt an Interim Ordinance Prohibiting Requests for Residential Minor Subdivisions Interim Community development Director Kari Collins reviewed the background of this issue as prompted by a request for a Minor Subdivision at 1926 Gluek Lane on September 12, 2016, and as detailed in the RCA of today’s date.
