Public Comment Mayor Roe called for public comment by members of the audience on any non-agenda items. Ms. Priscilla Morton, Western Avenue, stated she was at the meeting because she attend- ed the Public Works Commission meeting who recommended she come before the City Council. She had some specific questions, comments about the Roseville 2040 plan that relate to the environment. She noted she was pleased to see how much attention is being paid to greenhouse gases and meeting the Minnesota levels of emissions within this plan. She requested the City move as quickly as possible because she felt the world was in a state of emergency. One of the goals in the plan is for eighty percent reduction of green- house gases from the 2005 levels by 2050 whereas the most recent IPCC recommenda- tion is 100% by 2050 and 45% by 2030. She indicated she was concerned that the City may not be shooting high enough and secondly, she wondered what the accountability methods are in the plan. She stated there is lots of good language regarding providing a plan. She wondered if there will be someone responsible for this and reporting regularly on the progress achieved. Ms. Morton stated her third comment had to do with the current Minnesota goals that are not even close to being met. She wondered if Roseville already has goals and if the City has been meeting them. If the City does not track this or measure it, then it is likely to slip and be forgotten.
