Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 6, 2023 Page 16 the software staff uses to its fullest capacity in order to have the data and staff does have some ways now that staff can look to specifically look at referred. He noted the original version of this report had referred in it but he did not know if it was the most reliable data. For clarification,what the Council sees in the report on the slide in particular was all applicants that applied to the very opposite end of the spectrum to those that were hired. Councilmember Schroeder asked then if being eligible would be a different cate- gory. Mr. Brooks indicated that was correct. Councilmember Schroeder thought that might be an interesting piece to put in this report too, to see if the City is getting a lot of people applying but are not eligible, how does the City communicate up front, so people know what to have because the City still wants the applicant to have a good experience. Councilmember Groff thought this was great and mentioned he went to the Race and Equity program sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities. It was interest- ing but he thought most of the staff had already gone through it and a review. What he found interesting was so many people throughout Minnesota were there and ask- ing what Roseville was doing because those cities have not gotten to this level. He noted there is still lots to do but he felt the City is getting somewhere and getting things done. Mayor Roe thanked Mr. Brooks for the presentations and looked forward to future updates. d. Consider Ordinances Amending Titles 8 and 10 of the City Code Regarding Shoreland, Wetland, Stormwater, and Sustainability Regulations Community Development Director Janice Gundlach and Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request For Coun- cil Action and related attachments dated March 6, 2023. Mr. Freihammer introduced Ms. Jennifer Lowry, Assistant Public Works Direc- tor/City Engineer to the City Council. Mayor Roe clarified the biggest impact for the thousand foot and three hundred foot properties is that the twenty-five percent impervious requirement applies where it did not before. But in the pink areas on the map (between 300 feet and 1000 feet), the thousand foot is not being required to meet the more strict requirements about land disturbance and permits related to that. Mr. Freihammer indicated that was correct. It will not trigger additional erosion control permits.
