Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 14, 2008 Page 8 sought potential agenda items from individual Councilmembers; and provided prospective dates for such a joint meeting. City Manager Malinen sought Council directive on the location of the meeting; and potential for videotaping of such a meeting; and who should host the meeting. Councilmember Pust opined that, to accommodate videotaping, the meeting be held at the Roseville City Hall, with the City hosting the School Board, since the School Board had hosted the previous meeting. Councilmember Roe concurred with Councilmember Pust's comments. Councilmember Ihlan questioned the purpose of such a joint meeting; whether there were outstanding or urgent issues to discuss; and whether a similar meeting was planned with the Mounds View School District. Councilmember Ihlan opined that, as a matter of policy, if time were to be spent on a joint meeting with the Roseville School District, one should also be held with the Mounds View School District. Mayor Klausing reviewed rationale for the joint meeting, specifically and in gen- eral, opining such aregularly-held meeting, including Councilmember's sugges- tion for I.S.D. #621, was prudent. Mayor Klausing opined that I.S.D. #621 (Roseville) represented a more unique situation with cooperative use by the City and District of facilities and various land use issues; as well as providing the School District with results of the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning process, and the District's recent and similar process, suggesting that discussion on programming and facility needs could prove beneficial to both parties. Mayor Klausing recognized that discussions with the Mounds View School District may be beneficial as well, and if not the entire City Council, perhaps a subcommittee. Councilmember Pust noted that the City Council had yet to meet with the new Superintendent for the Mounds View District; and opined that it may be a good idea for such a meeting. Councilmember Ihlan expressed concern with "meeting for the sake of creating meetings;" and expressed further concern in creating a custom of joint meetings but not treating both districts equally. Further discussion ensued with the Council majority concurring on the advantages of meeting with the Roseville School District Board. Suggested dates, depending on City Council Chamber availability, with potential dates in May, before the summer months, considered, preferably Wednesday, May 21St or Thursday, May 22nd.
