Regular City Council Meeting Monday, Apri128, 2008 Page 21 Discussion included where to draw the line with formal and/or informal relation- ships with government or non-governmental agencies; informal attendance at meetings; when formal reports were called for; and how to identify those organi- zations solely linked to City government, similar to discussions of organizations to be listed on "Welcome to Roseville" signage. Pust moved, Klausing seconded, appointment of Councilmember Roe as primary liaison to the North Suburban Communications Commission (NSCC). Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan; Roe; Pust; and Klausing. Nays: None. Further discussion included the alternate position to the NSCC, and suggested that the position be opened up for public appointment. Mayor Klausing asked for consideration as an alternate to that body, in light of the legislative and decision-making issues currently before the body. Additional discussion included Mayor Klausing's involvement in the Northeast Diagonal Transit Committee, an area of interest for him, and the current informal- ity ofineetings, but potential for more formal consideration by the City Council in the future; liaison or membership positions differing in intent; non-authorized at- tendance by Councilmembers at various meetings based on their representation, individual or as a City representative, and whether the City Council needed to be aware of individual service on various commissions if not representing the City Council. Councilmember Pust opined the need for the City Council to have a more formal- ized relationship with the Roseville School District and the Mounds View School District; to allow for cooperative ventures and cost-sharing opportunities Councilmember Roe noted the need for the City Council to be aware of such items as the Roseville School Board's adoption of a guiding document of posi- tion, as adopted last year in their Master Plan, and the need for those types of in- formational items to complete links between the community and school district. Councilmember Ihlan noted that she served on the Ramsey County League of Lo- cal Governments (RCLLG) and advised of that body's encompassing membership with school districts and other City councils, possibly negating the need for a City presence on school boards. Councilmember Ihlan noted that most of their events this year had been of an educational nature; but advised that, when policy infor- mation was discussed by the Board, she would report to the City Council on those items.
