Presentation by Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce Mr. John Connelly, President of Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce updat- ed the City Council on events and items happening in the community. Mayor Roe asked in terms of the MNPASS project, Ramsey County will be work- ing on County Road C in the western part of the City at the same time and he wondered if the Chamber has been working with the County to see if there are ways to reach out to those businesses. Mr. Connelly stated he had a conversation with Ramsey County Commissioner Mary Jo McGuire about some of those items. The Chamber does have a number of members in that area, some will be impacted off County Road C, and the Chamber wants to make sure MnDOT has real time updates on their website so businesses in that area can regularly go to the source and get real time information about when lane closures occur so it can be shared with the businesses' guests. He noted it could impact a lot of businesses with the construction occurring and could create a hardship for the businesses. b. Public Hearing to Adopt a Resolution Providing Host Approval of Tax- Exempt Funds for Roseville Senior Living, LLC. Finance Director Chris Miller briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated February 11, 2019. Mayor Roe clarified with staff that this is not an obligation of the City of Rose- ville or the taxpayers in any way if there is any issue with payment of the bonds. These are not the City's bonds and the City is not being put under any obligation as a result of this. Mr. Miller indicated that was correct.
