Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 27, 2017 Page 24 Mayor Roe concurred, suggesting that the PWETC consider conceptual cost esti- mates for different solutions at those three crossing points or other amenities to make pedestrian crossing safer and better, for further city consideration, but not as part of the state bonding bill at this time. Regulatory Massage Therapists(pages 4—7) Councilmember Laliberte stated that she was very supportive of this, noting that there were many complaints that didn't even reach the level of police department reporting. Taproom and Cocktail Room(,pages 8 — 10) Councilmember McGehee opined that this already had good advocacy and pre- ferred emphasis on the other three items listed in this category. Councilmember Willmus stated his support for all four items. Mayor Roe noted that the existing taproom legislation seemed unduly burden- some, it also had a small business aspect. Therefore, Mayor Roe suggested it be added to the narrative that input be sought from area chambers of commerce. Councilmember Laliberte clarified that she was considering the focus of energy with these items, and when not going before the legislature for money, she didn't feel that the city had to limit issues in a regulatory capacity. Therefore, Coun- cilmember Laliberte stated her support for all four items in this category. Coun- cilmember Laliberte reported that state legislators had recently toured Bent Brewstillery, including Representative Becker-Finn, at which time they had asked for a resolution of support from local municipalities related to the taproom issue. Councilmember Etten stated his support of the Taproom resolution; and broadly supported all four in consideration of small businesses and their positive aspect for Roseville in having taprooms. Municipal Hotel Licensing(pages 11-12) Mayor Roe noted that hotel licensing was a global interest, and referenced a community health board. Mayor Roe clarified that this was not specific to Rose- ville, and questioned what it was referencing. For the record, Mayor Roe stated that the construction of the legislation should not involve Roseville getting in to the business of regulating health, suggesting that was more appropriate to Ramsey County as the enforcing agency. City Manager Trudgeon clarified that the proposed legislation would remove that provision, even though current wording was confusing.
