Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 29, 2018 Page 9 bonding. The Met Council and the State use bonding,but they do it for a different reason and Roseville is not in that position. He pushed back on this notion that the Council is not taking a long-term view or that things are not being done cor- rectly. Councilmember Willmus gave credit to the Public Works staff for their work over the years and commented the City is well ahead of the game, when measured against some of the peers. He echoed Mayor Roe's comments with regard to debt service of maintenance-related items. Councilmember McGehee expressed support for the Public Works staff, and clari- fied that the City has been remiss for a long time with regard to some of these projects now undertaken. The Council has done a lot of in terms of its parks and fire station, but the same attention has not been paid to infrastructure needs and repairs. She also clarified that she is not asking residents to pay more; but it is a matter of priorities and she knows that Public Works is a huge priority for resi- dents. She agreed with digging up the ponds and making them work. She ques- tioned the ongoing expenditures that are needed to get the job done right and the competition for that money with other projects coming forward. She concluded by commending the Public Works staff for their hard work. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee,Willmus, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None. 7. Business Items a.
