Chair Majerus suggested next steps to include meeting with the Chairs group, providing the report to the City Council and the community including the distribution specifically to those that participated. Member Kelsey recalled that the RHRA hosted a “Housing Summit” in 2004. Chair Majerus suggested that after bringing the info to the Chairs and the City Council that a “Housing Summit 2005” be held. Member Bean suggested increasing code enforcement explanation in the “Wrap”. The Codes need better explanation to the public. Member Kelsey expressed concern with the Wrap items as they are not specifically focused on codes and housing and may be overlooked. She wondered if the RHRA could do target marketing to provide better communications to realtors regarding rehab of the housing stock and neighborhoods with spring events such as Shoreview’s “Shine” program. Member Hermes asked if RHRA could host a code enforcement week and use the City bulletin boards for events. Executive Director Bennett suggested developing an action step to create targeted marketing. She suggested action steps oriented to budgets in the next few months. Member Millasovich reminded that Roseville is a senior community where seniors would be the audience and that the web is not always the best source of marketing for that target market. She suggested using the Roseville Review and the Roseville Cable Channel. Barbara Raye suggested using the information already gathered as the justification for programs moving forward. The RHRA could follow up with attendees at the community block clubs as focus groups. The citizens can be engaged to ask for solutions (empowerment) from participants in the community meetings. Education provides information and creates visibility for the RHRA. Member Hermes, Member Kelsey and Chair Majreus will work with the Finance subcommittee to create a budget impacts based upon action steps suggested. Chair Majerus will coordinate across all commissions and put the benefits back in the hands of the citizens. Executive Director Bennett will coordinate distribution of the draft report to all parts of the community. Member Hermes expressed concern about distribution of the document without further review by the RHRA first. Member Kelsey suggested the RHRA review and add to the document over the next months with some clarification and modification. Motion: Member Scheunemann moved, seconded by Member Hermes, to accept the draft neighborhood meeting report and findings prepared and presented by the Center for Policy, Planning and Performance, with RHRA to review and modify, then report to the Chairs, City Council and come up with marketing and action steps prior to the budgeting process. The final report will be forthcoming (in months) with action steps. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 3
