The following members were present: Mayor Linebarger, Councilmen Demos, Hess, Brennan and Curley and the following were absent: None. Councilman Brennan introduced and moved the adoption of the following resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 6242 WHEREAS, the depressed condition of the housing industry is more of a national problem than a local and regional problem, and attempting to deal with such a national problem on a local scale would add confusion to an already confused situation; and, WHEREAS, it has been charged but unsubstantiated that mlnlmum lot and house size and other various local regulations are the major cause of high cost housing and singling out local regulations without regard to other more important factors in the cost of housing is questionable in itself; and, WHEREAS, S.F. 939 attempts to solve the high cost problem by unfairly and incorrectly singling out local government regulations as the major factor. BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE City Council of Roseville, Minnesota, opposes the passage of SF 93cgifor the reasons enumerated and supports, instead the following recommendation contained in the Develop- ment Framework Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide: "The State Legislature should charge the Metropolitan Council to convene the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities, the Minnesota Housing Institute and other concerned groups, as necessary, in an examin- ation and review of the effects of governmental regulations, taxes, financing and industry practices on the cost of housing in the metropolitan area. The Council should be charged with recommending legislation to solve any problems that are identified in the study."
