Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 10, 2017 Page 4 that it start looking at additional areas to work through as part of those items on the group's list to be addressed. Specific to the investigation of this incident and others, Mayor Roe advised that the Min- nesota Department of Human Rights had jurisdiction and complaint process, and it was his understanding that a recommendation had been made to file such a complaint by Dr. Shapland. Specific to city licensing, Mayor Roe stated that he would be interested in taking this and similar incidents into account when considering liquor license renewals or business li- censes as applicable at a municipal level, while remaining cognizant of due process. Mayor Roe noted that meeting the aspiration of the community to be welcoming, inclu- sive and respectful remained a work in progress; but assured the public of the City Coun- cil's interest in listening and taking these concerns into account. Councilmember Willmus opined that, since this establishment has a municipally-issued liquor license, the city could exert leverage over the privilege of obtaining and/or renew- ing that license. Councilmember Willmus stated that he found it troubling that this was happening in Roseville and opined that he would be more than happy to take a hard look at the continuation of their license if this continues to be an ongoing issue at this Rose- ville retailer. Councilmember Etten agreed with the comments of Mayor Roe and Councilmember Willmus, stating that this was a terrible way to run a business. Councilmember McGehee, as one member of the City Council having spoken to many of those present in tonight's audience, advised that she had provided some potential ideas to City Manager Trudgeon in response to this issue. Councilmember McGehee opined that the City Council had the moral and ethical obligations as elected officials and its oath to support the State Constitution; and suggested that between the City Manager and City At- torney an effective process could be found for the city to deal with businesses and mem- bers of this community who are treated in such a manner. Councilmember McGehee opined that it was the responsibility of a business owner to have cameras in their stores to track activities without the need to racially profile its customers. Councilmember McGe- hee stated that she felt strongly about and was outraged about this situation, and thanked those willing to publicly come forward tonight to speak. Councilmember McGehee stat- ed her hope that it would result in a process and policy that would send a clear message that this was not acceptable behavior in Roseville. Councilmember Laliberte concurred with her colleagues, and agreed that the liquor li- cense provided an ability to consider potential revocation at a local level and beyond the state's Department of Human Rights purview. For the record, Councilmember Laliberte stated that this was not acceptable in Roseville, nor was it how the community wanted its residents or neighbors to be treated.
