Mr. Cederberg expressed that he was thankful for having grown up in a city that valued human rights; and thanked those he had served with on the former Human Rights Commission over the last few years. Mr. Cederberg wished the new Hu- man Rights, Inclusion and Engagement Commission (HRIEC) luck going forward as they continued to advocate for human rights in the City of Roseville. 1. Items Removed from Consent Agenda a. Consider the Issuance of a Premises Permit for Northstar Search and Rescue to Conduct Lawful Gambling Activities at 2730 Snelling Avenue N (New Bo- hemia Restaurant) At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this item, as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) and related attachments dat- ed June 24, 2017. While appreciating staff comments, Councilmember Etten stated his concern in how this organization can comply with the proscribed trade area requirements when it was involved in a broader area involving 150 miles within the metropoli- tan area. Even with the additional information provided to him by staff in re- sponse to his question earlier today, Councilmember Etten stated that he remained skeptical, especially since the Police Department was able to provide no history locally of this organization; and asked about the follow-up procedure when re- viewing periodic reports from the organization as to their meeting the city's trade area requirements. City Manager Trudgeon, as confirmed by Finance Director Chris Miller, clarified that reporting is done monthly and therefore staff would be able to make a quick determination if this organization was deemed out of compliance with city code. If so, Mr. Trudgeon advised that matter would be turned over to the Police De- partment for their recommendation to the City Council for rescinding the license. Councilmember Willmus stated that he had similar concerns to those expressed by Councilmember Etten, and was awaiting a response from Police Chief Mathwig to some of his questions. Therefore, if this was not a time-sensitive is- sue, Councilmember Willmus expressed his preference to delay action on this matter. City Manager Trudgeon confirmed that it was not a time-sensitive matter.
