Public Comment Mayor Roe called for public comment by members of the audience on any non-agenda items. Kathy Ramundt, 1161 Laurie Road W, commented on the Sunday article in the Star Tribune, entitled ‘Roseville Civic Engagement Outreach has Folks Spitting Mad.’ She stated she is concerned that based on the article, the Council will react only on the focus about issues with a specific individual and on the recent neighborhood association work and simply disregard it. Ms. Ramundt stated actions by the City Council in recent years that stick out in her mind suggest also that the City is not listening to residents. As an ex- ample, she noted Rita Mix joined the original Community Engagement Task Force be- cause of anger over the handling of development near her townhomes on Old Highway 8.
