Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 8, 2022 Page 9 Council Discussion Councilmember Willmus explained he certainly would take Councilmember GroffÓs comments to heart with respect to sooner being better than later and to work on this in a fashion that is perhaps a little more expeditious versus waiting for Leg- islature. Mayor Roe indicated he certainly understands both perspectives of this. He thought in reality, under the interim ordinance, there is every potential that individuals in the City who wish to seek out these products will be able to do so over the internet and in other ways, subject to whatever outside laws are in effect. He noted what the City is trying to figure out is a scheme to set up the regulatory environment for the sale of the products from brick-and-mortar stores in Roseville. He completely understood the notion of Golden ValleyÓs approach, which is to proceed with de- veloping that scheme without a moratorium in place. He also understood the Coun- cilÓs perspective that having the moratorium in place provides some level of com- fort for the Council in terms of perhaps not having things get ahead of them. He indicated he was supportive of the motion with echoing the comments about not necessarily waiting for the Legislature. Roll Call Ayes: Groff, Strahan, Willmus, and Roe. Nays: None. d. Declare Mid-Term Vacancies for Various Commissions. Assistant City Manager Rebecca Olson briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated August 8, 2022. Councilmember Willmus explained he would like the Council to have the inter- views on the City Hall campus. He explained there are cameras and recording equipment onsite and he would like to do this on an evening other than a Council meeting night. He thought the audio at Cederholm was horrendous. Councilmember Strahan disagreed and indicated everyone was masked at that time, which did impact sound quality. She appreciated the more relaxed format and the Council having the opportunity to get to know the applicants better when people were more relaxed. She noted the Council had some really nice conversations with people. She thought the cameras were out of sight and people did not feel like they were in the spotlight. She felt it was helpful and appreciated the welcome space that Ms. Olson and other provided in the entry. Willmus moved, Groff seconded, to declare the vacancy on the Planning Commis- sion for a term ending 3/31/2024 and the vacancy on the PWETC for a term ending 3/31/2024.
