Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 25, 2019 Page 24 when looking at $78,000 this year and next year as it is one more piece that is go- ing to make the budget harder and that affects citizens, how the City can serve them, and how much the citizens have to pay. Mayor Roe asked in both Resolutions, does it make sense to have a Whereas clause, something to the effect that other non-tax revenues are declining, such as cable franchise fees, if the Council wants to be specific. Councilmember Laliberte thought it might make more sense in the generic ver- sion to support the argument. She did not think it should be added to 2031 be- cause it is already drafted in Legislation. Mayor Roe did not know that the City is speaking to the language of the Legisla- tion by adding a reason for the City to support the Legislation. Councilmember Laliberte asked if there were any other examples the City wanted to put in beside cable franchise fees. Mayor Roe thought Mr. Miller would be able to add some. Mr. Trudgeon stated the City is seeing a decline in court fines and interest earn- ings. Mayor Roe stated there is also a decline in MSA funding. He suggested staff could put in the Whereas clause based on discussion. Councilmember Laliberte supported this suggestion. Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, adoption of Resolution No. ?? (Attachment C) entitled, "Resolution Supporting House File 2031 Regarding Local Govern- ment Aid," as amended to include the Whereas as discussed. Council Discussion Councilmember Willmus thought it was important to act upon this Resolution in order to get it before the Legislature so that the Legislature is aware of Roseville's position. If successful and this Legislations passes, it will certainly be a benefit to the City of Roseville. Roll Call Ayes: Etten, Willmus, Laliberte, and Roe. Nays: Groff
