Attachment A Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 4, 2021 Page 20 849 Councilmember Willmus indicated he would like to learn a little more about the 850 current catalytic converter laws as far as recyclers and things like that. He under- 851 stood that in the past few years, there were some changes and there is fairly strin- 852 gent documentation required for someone from Minnesota who is bringing in a cat- 853 alytic converter, in terms of identification, how those people are paid, and things 854 like that. He would like to know more about what is currently there and have more 855 background. 856 857 Councilmember Strahan indicated what she knows is that the City of St. Paul at- 858 tempted to have something, but they were too localized, so people just went outside 859 the City of St. Paul. She believed the focus is that a lot of these items are going 860 online. This is looking at larger issues and trying to get manufacturers to stamp 861 them with the VIN number, but thought this should include the entire State. 862 863 Mayor Roe noted that more information at the next discussion would be helpful. 864 865 Councilmember Etten indicated he would certainly support some of these items. 866 He stated as the Council looks at what the priorities are, he wants to make sure these 867 are focused on Roseville. He indicated the City has done a lot of work with adjust- 868 ing and changing the Police Department and it is ongoing. Any help from the State 869 to do that or expand would be great and he would be supportive of that. He noted 870 that transportation funding has been discussed and the City is working with the Met 871 Council on the Rice Creek Corridor, which certainly fits the list and serving people 872 of color and different racial disparities, giving excellent access to jobs going into 873 St. Paul and other directions. Those are things he would support. 874 875 Councilmember Groff thanked Councilmember Strahan for bringing her thoughts 876 forward. He stated he would not have a problem with any of her items on the list. 877 He thought the other item, the equal rights amendment, does not seem like it affects 878 Roseville, but it really does. It affects all of the community and is a no-nonsense 879 bill that should be supported. 880 881 g. Receive Update on COVID-19 and Impact on City Operations 882 City Manager Patrick Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Re- 883 quest for Council Action and related attachments dated January 4, 2021. 884 885 9.
