Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 7, 2018 Page 20 Councilmember McGehee stated she is open to lots of symbols other than the rose. She also spoke earlier today with City Manager Trudgeon and Ms. Collins, and they both said the City can take time over the summer to get more input and feedback,particularly regarding the Larpenteur/Lexington area. During this time period, the City is free to have more engagement. Councilmember Willmus expressed support for sticking to the previously an- nounced timeline. Councilmember Etten suggested the City can seek feedback on the 21St,but there is nothing major happening that will change what neighboring communities will comment on.

Not being aware of the Comp Plan has been disheartening. Since purchasing the home, she is concerned about her real estate investment. She takes a lot of pride living in Roseville and is conscientious in supporting local businesses. She is concerned about traffic flow, crime, noise, and she also wants the City to honor the resolution when the Cub went in.

She is also concerned about a mixed-use zoning change. She asked what
