Staff checked with Ramsey County and learned 51 that they will not have a specific ask of the Legislature this session for funding for services related to 52 mental health voluntary engagement. Therefore, that priority can also be removed. 53 54 Staff has also decided to remove the priority regarding Racial Equity Data. It was originally proposed to 55 encourage the state to make more demographic information about residents, businesses, and 56 communities available so that staff would have more information to assist our work on equity 57 priorities. However, the original request did not specify what the actual legislative request would be and 58 without a clear understanding at this time of what the City is seeking, staff believes this priority should be 59 removed at this time. Staff will continue to consider this need, and may bring forward a future request if it 60 is deemed that a legislative action is desirable. 61 62 With the above-mentioned changes, the City's Legislative Priorities are as follows: 63 64 High Priority Items (Items that the City of Roseville will directly advocate for passage by the 65 Legislature) 66 Seek financial support for capital improvements for the state and regional asset of the Guidant 67 John Rose Minnesota OVAL and support facilities through the State Bonding Bill 68 Enact statewide Licensing of Massage Therapists 69 Modify existing state law regarding park dedication to allow for collection of park dedication fees 70 on new development without the requirement that the land must be subdivided 71 Allow local units of government to designate which licensed ambulance service provider may 72 serve their community and to determine the appropriated level of service and response times 73 Other Priorities (Items the City of Roseville supports but will let other organizations directly 74 advocate for passage by the Legislature) 75 Creation of EDA powers for Ramsey County 76 Creation of sustainable alternative funding sources for Cable Commissions 77 Allow for the use of city website or other technology-based methods for official notices 78 Implement Police Officer arbitration reform 79 Amend State Building Code Chapter 1306 to Allow Municipalities to Require Sprinkler Systems 80 in R-2 (Multi-Family) Occupancy Group 81 Support legislative efforts to require the Department of Labor and Industry to adopt an advanced 82 energy standard as part of the State Building Code and other legislative efforts to support zoning 83 and financial incentives at the local level to encourage sustainable building design, construction, 84 and operation strategies that aim to lower overall greenhouse gas emissions 85 Continued funding to local governments to address emerald ash borer 86 Without limitation, amend state law to provide for the opportunity for city officials, City Council 87 members, and City Commission members to participate virtually at city meetings from a remote Page 2 of 3 Qbhf!:6!pg!33:
