Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 8, 2010 Page 6 At the request of Mayor Klausing, Acting City Manager Chris Miller briefly re- viewed this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated March 8, 2010. While not interested in micromanaging the City Manager's management of em- ployees, Councilmember Pust expressed concern in approving the blanket list of conferences without having him present to identify whether he'd already screened this list, and to provide more specific information. Councilmember Ihlan requested additional information on how this list matched up with the amounts approved in the 2010 budget, which she had been unable to reconcile. Councilmember Ihlan also suggested, based on the original intent, that a policy or resolution be in place providing specific restrictions by the City Coun- cil. Councilmember Ihlan expressed her interest, early in the 2011 budget process, that information be made available as to which conferences relate to spe- cific departments and how their training monies are allocated, per department and overall. This item was continued to the next meeting. d. Adopt a Resolution Authorizing a Contract to Accept ERF Grant Funds for Ramsey County for Twin Lakes (Former Consent Item 7.i) At the request of Mayor Klausing, Acting City Manager Chris Miller briefly re- viewed this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated March 8, 2010. Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon, at the request of Council- member Ihlan, confirmed that there were no required city-matching financial ob- ligations for these funds. Councilmember Ihlan asked if there was any strategy in place to work with the County Attorney to get financial reimbursement from the responsible polluting parties; and suggested that the City's goal should be to seek such reimbursement where and when possible. City Attorney Bartholdi advised that there had been no discussions held to-date. Klausing moved, Roe seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10794 entitled, "Au- thorizing the Execution and Delivery of Grant Agreements and Other Required Documentation to Accept Grant Awards from Ramsey County's Environmental Response Fund for the Phase I and Phase II Infrastructure Projects within the Twin Lakes Redevelopment Area;" referencing and approving the Agreement be- tween Ramsey County HRA and City of Roseville for Environmental Response Funds identified as "Attachment B." i Roll Call
