Public Comment <br /> Mayor Roe called for public comment by members of the audience on any non-agenda <br /> items. <br /> Mr. Art Eguia, Stillwater, explained he has been in conversations with Senior Planner <br /> Bryan Lloyd regarding sober housing. He understands this was brought up either last <br /> month or the month before. The last email he got from Mr. Lloyd was August 29th so that <br /> the September 25th meeting would be the target for the adoption of the Ordinance. When <br /> he got to the meeting that was not the case, and he wanted to refresh that part of the <br /> conversation. He sent extra documents to Mr. Lloyd and currently runs four sober houses, <br /> which are very much needed in the community. They are looking at purchasing a house in <br /> Roseville to turn it into a sober house so he wanted to make sure that this gets on the next <br /> agenda. He explained the City Council is aware the ADA and FHA protect the sober <br /> community class people who are suffering from addiction and it is a covered class in the <br /> ADA and FHA so technically, they do not need to ask for a license for a sober home. He <br /> wanted to make sure that it is looked at ahead of time because a lot of cities usually want <br /> them to pull a rental permit, but it is not rent. He would prefer to come into the City of <br /> Roseville doing things the right way and if it is required to fill out a permit, he would be <br /> happy to do it. The other way to do it is to buy a house and start putting people in there for <br /> sobriety, which is not the way he would like to proceed on something like this. He noted <br /> Mr. Lloyd has been very supportive and helpful to him. <br />
