Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 9, 2018 Page 9 meeting but in one of the SE neighborhoods, with the same resources and the ad- ditional translations of the information. That could possibly be coordinated through the City as well. There are a lot of possibilities to do good things. He does not want to be choosing between the priorities, as they are all important. He noted that there is an extensive senior community living in these units as well as in their own homes. As to the notion of another bus, that is always on the table. Another bus could conceivably do its own program. This program does not have to do everything for everyone on day 1. That is why the Council's sense was it would be good for the City to looking at participating in funding. Councilmember Laliberte concurred that the Council knew about the White Bear Lake model that was partially funded by private donors, in order to get up and go- ing. There would be in support in Roseville for a similar model. She assumed the City would have to support it in order to get it started, but she just assumed there would be an update before it started. Mr. Olson clarified that NewTrax is not looking for up-front funding. Rather, this is a billable type of process. An invoice would come through the system. Three months from now, the Council may see the invoice and decide it is not working out. Monthly billings are sent for the services provided during the previous month. Councilmember McGehee appreciated the clarification. She does think that as a City, it is important to look at servicing seniors in single-family homes as well. She asked that the City Council and City staff take a role in doing something to identify all the needs and then begin to put together some sort of suggestion. She never intended for these volunteers to have to do all this work. Willmus moved, Etten seconded, funding of the circulator bus for a six-month pe- riod, in the amount of$8,760, on the basis of monthly billing; and during the next two months, NewTrax and CHAT would return to the Council, with a goal to de- velop a plan to bring the circulator bus into SE Roseville. Councilmember Etten suggested a friendly amendment to also coordinate with the Roseville School District to coordinate for any potential services as well as work- ing to find private donations to help fund it. Councilmember Willmus accepted the amendment. Council Discussion Mayor Roe asked whether the Council is looking to CHAT to do that outreach and make those connections, or whether there is direction for City staff involve- ment or leadership.
