Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 9, 2019 Page 13 Councilmember Laliberte indicated she was not really in support of this. She thought the whole thing was technically voluntary and a lot of education will be needed to teach people why this is needed. Mayor Roe explained when this first came up, he was not supportive of it and re- ally still is not, but there are a number of communities that do this, and those communities have a significant problem with issues and getting ahold of respon- sible owners. He was not sure if the city was at that point yet. He was less con- cerned about the privacy issue because the city does have the ability to make it nonpublic. Councilmember Willmus though the city already has things in place to deal with these types of issues, this goes a little beyond what is needed, and there would be significantly more staff time involved than what is needed.

Discussion of Previously Paid Interim Use Fees by Real Life Presbyterian and Roseville Churches for Temporary Overnight Shelters Community Development Director Gundlach briefly highlighted this item as de- tailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated September 9, 2019. Councilmember Etten noted in the Request for Council Action, staff talks about ways that "excess amount" could have been different and even on the page, the average was for the salary costs and not for wages and benefits and can be said that is an underestimate of the city's costs related to that. There is also talk about potential for additional public concern for an item that would take up additional staff time. His concern is the city get into a situation where it continually second guesses an amount that was paid in other circumstances and how does the city go through that process every single time. The council needed staff to look at the fees and historical things. He was reluctant to make a lot of changes in this cir- cumstance because of the precedent it sets. Councilmember Laliberte appreciated the work put into assessing this and thought the Council had been wanting to return some of the funds back to the churches and the Council will have to settle on something moving forward. Mayor Roe stated from his perspective, both because the Council said it would be looked at and because he thought this was a unique circumstance that does not come up all of the time, which is the notion that the city did not have a process in place so used a similar process the city had, which was an interim use. He noted
