Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday,June 20, 2023 <br /> Page 12 <br /> Mr. Hodder explained he wanted to speak about an issue that came up at Envision <br /> Roseville at one of the meetings with the community. The students at the high <br /> school were saying they were feeling safe at school but not in the community. He <br /> wanted to bring that to the Council's attention to drill down into what the concerns <br /> were with the students not feeling safe in the community. <br /> With no one coming forward Mayor Roe closed public comment and read the <br /> proclamation. <br /> Strahan moved, Groff seconded, approving the proclamation declaring June as <br /> National Gun Violence Awareness Month. <br /> Council Discussion <br /> Councilmember Groff thanked the people who spoke and brought up some really <br /> important points about education, noting this is just a start and something everyone <br /> can build on. <br /> Councilmember Schroeder thanked the Council for the work done before she got <br /> on the Council and appreciated that this was taken seriously, and the effort put in. <br /> Councilmember Etten appreciated the work done by Councilmember Strahan, <br /> Mayor Roe and City Manager Trudgeon. <br /> Councilmember Strahan thanked Mr. Hodder for bringing forward his comment <br /> too. She thought that gave the Council homework to do before next May when <br /> school lets out to maybe bring this to the students to see that this is a start in the <br /> education process and what the City can do to help. She was thankful that students <br /> feel safe within the school,but the City wants them to feel safe outside of the school <br /> as well. <br /> Mayor Roe thanked the public for mentioning the suicide component of gun deaths, <br /> which is both significant and important and probably should be dealt with more <br /> directly in the proclamation next year. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Etten, Schroeder, Groff, Strahan, and Roe. <br /> Nays: None <br /> 8. Council Direction on Councilmember Initiated Agenda Items <br /> 9.
