Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, November 30, 2015 <br />Page 25 <br />Councilmember Willmus asked staff to provide something about proposed com- <br />pensation for a paid Intern position. <br />Councilmember McGehee cautioned that the Reception Desk served as the face of <br />the City of Roseville; and didn't think it should be provided by an Intern or volun- <br />teer position. <br />Recess <br />Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:53 p.m., and reconvened at approximately <br />9:00 p.m. <br />14. Business Items (Action Items) <br />a. Approve/Deny Pawn America License Renewal <br />b. Approve/Deny Farrington Estates Easement Vacation <br />c. Approve/Deny Creation of Economic Development Authority (EDA) <br />d.

While initially scheduled to address the three vacancies <br />on the HRC not yet filled, Mayor Roe noted that this discussion could include <br />roles and responsibilities of each standing council advisory commission and po- <br />tential shifts. Mayor Roe noted this discussion was also in conjunction with the <br />related topic of the newly-created advisory Community Engagement Commission <br />(CEC) and broader commission discussions and thoughts. <br />HRC <br />Specific to the HRC, Councilmember Etten expressed his personal interest in re- <br />turning that advisory commission to its full force. Councilmember Etten recog- <br />nized the positive activities and robust work currently being undertalcen by the <br />HRC even with their limited membership available, and their return to a strong <br />regular versus sporadic meeting schedule. Councilmember Etten stated he <br />thought the HRC should return to full strength to allow them to operate more ef- <br />fectively. <br />Councilmember McGehee agreed with Councilmember Etten, opining she was <br />impressed with their presentations and their well-attended and well-led efforts <br />when appearing before the City Council at those joint meetings. Councilmember <br />McGehee further opined that this was proving to be a successful advisory com- <br />
