Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 25, 2019 Page 16 Ms. Barsel stated she runs the Roseville Alzheimer and Dementia group and also CHAT. She stated some of the calls the Fire Department gets to pick people up are because of social isolation and Roseville does not have a way to address that in this community but the City has people who are responding to some of that. She thought that was important to understand and to give the Fire Department the tools, including personnel to do that, as well as possible. The other thing the City knows from the health questionnaire that CHAT put out several years ago, is that there are lots of people, not just seniors, who have recurrent visits to the emergen- cy room or something else because the resident is not able to function inde- pendently once released from the hospital. When the Fire Department is ade- quately staffed and can expand medical services, she thought the City would be doing something that is positive for this community, which is not available any other way. Ms. Barsel stated the City Council has not had a problem with funding parks and recreation and various other things. She thought this was in a different category and the City Council needed to find a way to fund what the Fire Department de- fines as needs. No one else wished to comment. Mayor Roe asked if there was any objection to the Fire Department working with the City Manager to take the next steps to start developing the budget going for- ward and funding. There were no objections to moving forward from the City Council. Recess Mayor Roe recessed the meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m., and reconvened at approximately 8:08 p.m. c. Discuss Possible Changes to the City Code in Support of Temporary Over- night Homeless Shelters City Planner Thomas Paschke briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated March 25, 2019. Councilmember Groff stated with the information the Council received,he did not see any costs associated with that and wondered if staff knew what other cities charged for the different types of permits the cities have. Mr. Paschke stated staff did not look into all the different fees structures to go through the process. He did not know what another community would charge to go through an interim use or conditional use. He indicated for this type of use moving forward, staff could come up with a different fee structure and figure out what makes sense to implement.
