Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,January 9, 2023 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Mr. Edgerton explained Zan Associates did connect with Sienna Green and made <br /> some connections and relationships there. There were Hello Lamppost objects with <br /> some fliers distributed there as well. He thanked Councilmember Etten for his com- <br /> ments. <br /> Mayor Roe thought it was worth noting it is not necessarily always care type facil- <br /> ities for seniors but actually there is a lot of independent living right across from <br /> City Hall. <br /> Councilmember Schroeder thanked Mr. Edgerton for doing all of this work. She <br /> noted not all seniors are tech savvy, so they need to be aware of how to approach <br /> them to gather information. She was glad to hear Zan Associates was starting to get <br /> more numbers and encouraged bumping up those numbers to get a better picture to <br /> make sure this represents all of the separate groups and that they all have the ability <br /> to add to this. <br /> Councilmember Groff thanked Mr. Edgerton for all the work. He would also like <br /> to see more rental input and understood it is harder to reach these types of residents. <br /> He was looking forward to more information in the coming months. <br /> Councilmember Etten suggested connecting with Rice/Larpenteur Alliance be- <br /> cause that group has a lot of business connections along that stretch and maybe <br /> some relationships that would be easy to tie into to get some more action for the <br /> business outreach. <br /> c. Approve Public Works 2023 Work Plan <br /> Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer briefly highlighted this item as detailed <br /> in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated January 9, 2023. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if there was a lot of uptakes on the energy action plan and the <br /> programs amongst the businesses in the community or is it still too early in the <br /> implementation to really get a sense of that. <br /> Mr. Freihammer thought it was a little early. He knew they did have some input <br /> and feedback,but it can be expanded upon in the coming year. <br /> Mr. Freihammer reviewed the 2023 Public Works work plan with the City Council. <br /> Councilmember Etten thanked Mr. Freihammer for the work done with the resi- <br /> dents on South McCarron Boulevard and the retaining wall. He noted there was a <br /> lot of concern from the residents but they felt really good by the time staff was done <br /> meeting with them. He thanked staff for meeting with the residents and making <br /> changes and bringing forward more information. <br />
