Mayor Roe noted that City Manager Malinen <br /> served on a subcommittee looking at franchise renewals. <br /> Councilmember Pust noted that she served two appointments: Housing and Rede- <br /> velopment Authority (HRA) City Council member /representative; and on the <br /> Board of the Northwest Youth and Family Services (NYFS) as the City of Rose- <br /> ville representative, assuming that role from former Roseville City Councilmemb- <br /> er Dean Maschka. <br /> Councilmember Johnson questioned if Councilmember Pust was comfortable with <br /> her work load and continued service on both those Boards. <br /> Councilmember Pust advised that she was comfortable with both and their re- <br /> quired time commitment; however, she expressed the importance and value of <br /> both organizations; and opened them up to others interested even though she had <br /> historically served on both. <br /> Councilmember Johnson opined that Councilmember Pust did a good job <br /> representing the City on both and supported her continued service. <br /> Mayor Roe noted that you didn't have to be a member of the City Council to <br /> serve on the HRA, but that it was important from Mayor Klausing's perspective <br /> that the City Council be represented.
