Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 27, 2023 Page 4 Public Comment Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment with no one coming for- ward. Strahan moved, Schroeder seconded, approving the agreement with People Incor- porated to expand mental health services in Roseville. Council Discussion Councilmember Strahan thanked Chief Scheider for providing the information pre- sented. She thought it helped everyone understand how this all fits together and the City is so fortunate having this tool to move forward in a different way to help and respond to people instead of not looking at what the person individually needs. Councilmember Schroeder thanked Chief Scheider for finding another piece to this puzzle that the City can continue to help people who need the services, and it is not a revolving door for the Police Department or for the resident. Mayor Roe noted because some of the funding sources are shorter term, including for this, there will be discussion and an evaluation at the end of that time prior to needing to look at proceeding further with these positions,all of them,to make sure everything is fitting and working properly. He thought that was a good plan as well. Roll Call Ayes: Etten, Schroeder, Groff, Strahan, and Roe. Nays: None. 7. Business Items a.
