Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 10, 2009 Page 14 Councilmember Pust suggested that some agenda items be moved around; opining that the "Budgeting for Outcomes" report that the City Council had invested in should come before the City Council prior to holding substantial budget discussions on August 17, 2009. City Manager Malinen advised that the tentative agenda process was subject to change; and indicated that the original place holder for the budget requests on August 17, 2009 may have been a carryover from previous budget processes, and not actually related to the budgeting for outcomes process. City Manager Malinen advised that he would con- sult with Finance Director Miller and the City's financial consultant, Springsted, to de- termine when the report was scheduled to come before the City Council. Councilmember Pust opined that, if receipt of the report could not be moved, there would be no choice but to schedule special meetings in order to complete the preliminary budget process prior to the September 15, 2009 deadline for submission to Ramsey County to meet Truth in Taxation deadlines. Councilmember Roe advised that he didn't want to discount informal staff discussions scheduled for August 25 or August 26, and expressed his desire to incorporate their input into the process before the City Council got too far into the decision-making process. Councilmember Pust noted that tonight's meeting was the second meeting that had been adjourned before 8:00 p.m. 15. Councilmember-Initiated Items for Future Meetings Further discussion was held related to upcoming meetings, topics, and the budget process and timeline itself; and specific individual Councilmember requests for the budget. Councilmember Pust requested updates and discussions on the City's current impervious surface issue; timing for zoning variances and regulation changes at general or final con- cept stages; concern expressed in some residential neighborhoods as to why Roseville continued to have a five foot setback regardless of the character of the neighborhood; and recreational vehicle parking in residential neighborhoods. Councilmember Pust noted that the RFP for zoning ordinance changes would be coming before the City Council soon, and she sought to have policy discussions related to the above-referenced zoning issues before that to allow it to flow back into the process. Councilmember Roe noted that some items would be taken care of prior to the overall re- view; but would tie into the overall discussion. 16. Adjourn The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:27 p.m.
