Call to Order/Roll Call: The meeting was called to order by chair Vicky Lorenz at 7:00 p.m. All members were present. II. Approval of Minutes: The minutes of the January 19, 2000 meeting were approved as printed. III. Guest Speaker: Ed Burrell, Roseville Finance Director. Mr. Burrell briefly reviewed Roseville's financial situation decade by decade, showing how it reflected general conditions throughout the USA. Each member of the commission received a colorful collection of charts portraying the city's fiscal goals and policies and its present financial situation. Each member also received a complete packet of information detailing specific policies in all areas, including Tax Increment Financing. He responded to a number of questions from commission members. IV. Public Comment: These Roseville residents addressed the commission: Al Kehr, Mary Bakeman, Clair Smith, Joe Smith and Greg Thordson. We heard pro and con comments on the John Rose Oval and TIF, and other issues previously discussed. Of special interest was Joe Smith's suggestion that we publish future agendas on cable. V. Commission Discussion: Although the scheduled topic was major city expenditures it was soon abandoned because of the concerns of a number of commission members about how our deliberations should proceed. The discussion resulted in a motion by Ron Riach that the executive committee draft a proposed timeline and process to be presented to commission members at least one week prior to the next meeting. The motion passed with eight in favor and one abstention. VI. Agenda: Motion by Al Sands that the executive committee set the agenda for the next meeting passed unanimously. VII. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Georgiana Sobola Secretary
