Roseville City Council Meeting Minutes <br />Special Meeting of February 10,2007 <br />Page 7 <br />1 <br />? Mayor Klausing observed that staff needed to be provided time to alert �ouncil- <br />:� members via Work Sessions to day-to-day operational concerns (i.e., relining <br />� sewer lines) and important issues that had significant costs and would impact the <br />� health, safety and welfare of community. <br />� <br />,f <br />� <br />� <br />]� <br />] �l <br />1� <br />13 <br />1� <br />1� <br />1� <br />L� <br />1 �3 <br />1� <br />� <br />�l <br />2� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�� <br />�1 <br />�� <br />�� <br />34 <br />�� <br />Councilmember Pust noted that through last year's goal setting and input from De- <br />partment Heads, staff and Council were able to put together a j oint long-term list to <br />work effectively on those items. <br />Councilmember Pust observed that other than for Public Hearing requirements, <br />written staff presentations didn't need to be repeated verbally but time be allotted <br />to respond to Council and public questions.
