Proposed Housing Ordinance Chair Delmore requested that Commissioner Venters provide an update on the conference call between Commissioners McGehee and Venters, City Manager Malinen, City Attorney and Chair Delmore related to the proposed housing ordinance. Commissioner Venters provided his perspective and opinion on how the HRC should proceed. Commissioner Venters expressed frustration that his intent had been to review the proposed ordinance paragraph by paragraph and determine how best to move forward with discussion at the joint City Council/HRC meeting to determine the City Council's interest in proceeding with the ordinance. Commissioner Venters said he had left messages with individual Councilmembers and Mayor Klausing, and Councilmember Ihlan and Mayor Klausing returning those calls. Councilmember Ihlan expressing interest in the proposed ordinance. However, Commissioner Venters said that after a discussion with Mayor Klausing, Mayor Klausing indicated that he wanted to ensure the City was welcoming, but was not convinced the proposed ordinance was the way to go, nor did he indicate an interest in pursuing this ordinance. He was concerned the ordinance may raise tensions, given different views of tenants and prospective tenants, and overshadow those good intentions. Commissioner Venters advised that Mayor Klausing's opinion was that the ordinance may be too far removed in attempts to make Roseville a welcoming community through working with neighborhoods to encourage their meeting of new residents to the community. Commissioner Venters expressed his disagreement and philosophical differences during the conversation; and his attempts to represent both the HRC and his individual thoughts. City Manager Malinen provided his perspective of the conference call, and the concurrence during that conversation of the need to step back from the ordinance and seek additional research to determine local and /or regional problems; advantages and disadvantages of the proposed ordinance; and for the HRC to determine the merits of such an ordinance and increasing the awareness for the community as a whole. Commissioner Venters advised that he'd attended the DFL Convention last week, and in Representative Mindy Greiling and Senator John Marty, provided several anecdotal examples of immigrants seeking to locate in Roseville, that they experienced intimidation in the background check process, and their perception was that included verification of their green card status. Commissioner Venters also noted that he'd received similar comments and examples from his discussions with an immigration attorney. Chair Delmore opined the need to speak to the City Council on this issue and those perceptions. Commissioner McKenzie opined that the HRC needed to spend time putting together an information packet and flesh out information with advantages and disadvantages and a proposed ordinance. Chair Delmore noted that City Attorney Jay Squires agreed to assist the HRC as requested.
