Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 3, 2018 Page 15 Councilmember Etten stated some of these things where the Council would indi- cate support and an example of that is the MNLARS System. He was not sure as a City that would be a high priority item. He stated he supported the tap room and cocktail room legislation and was not sure that should be a high priority for the City but could be added to the other priorities list. He thought the other items should be included in the priority list. Councilmember Laliberte stated she struggled with this as well. In reflecting on this, the City is not employing a lobbyist to go to the Legislature and promote any of these at this point so to say something is a priority implies that someone is ac- tually working to push it through, and she thought, at best, the City will be having meetings with their own Legislators, potentially supporting someone if a hearing is allowed. She thought the Tap Room and Cocktail Room legislation is kind of unique to Roseville and if the City is not going to promote it, then she did not know who would. Councilmember Laliberte stated she looked at the list as to what items are Rose- ville specific that the City would promote Legislation or bill writing or draft lan- guage and what are the items the City would support. She thought the Oval was specific to Roseville so the City would need to promote that one. Mayor Roe asked if everything on the high list fall into the promote category or should some items go into the support list. Councilmember Laliberte thought there needed to be a movement of the priorities. Councilmember Willmus thought items that are Roseville specific that the City should be actively pursuing would be the top four bullet points under high priority items. He thought the rest of the items were a little broader and affect other mu- nicipalities as well as Roseville that the City can be a part of, but he did not know if those items were necessarily Roseville specific. He stated he would focus on the first four items. Councilmember McGehee agreed and liked that break down. She still felt really strongly about the sprinkler systems. She did not know if there was anything Ro- seville specific regarding transportation. She thought there might be some specif- ic transportation things the City might be wanting, whether it is pathways or a pedestrian overpass over Snelling. Mayor Roe thought until there is a specific project, there is the general support of the Council. Mayor Roe stated he did not think promote was strong enough for what the City is going to do. He thought the City was going to own those priorities. In trying to help sift through these priorities, he generally agreed with the first four items. He
