Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 14, 2011 Page 35 Councilmember Johnson advised that he would work aggressively in setting up meeting dates for the subcommittee as part of that process. Mayor Roe expressed appreciation to individual Councilmembers for tonight's discussion; and the need to have a better understanding going into the process and everyone's expectations. Councilmembers Johnson and Willmus expressed appreciation to Mayor Roe for creating the framework for drafting the biennial schedule. 14. Business Items—Presentations/Discussions (continued) b. Discuss NE Diagonal Corridor Councilmember Roe noted that this was a holdover from the February 7, 2011 Work Plan meeting; and Councilmember Johnson concurred, noting that was brought forward as a courtesy to Councilmember Pust who was unable to attend that meeting, and the item was not discussed, but that she may wish further dis- cussion. Councilmember Pust summarized her intent in ensuring that the needs of Rose- ville and the area are well represented at the Metropolitan Council level during area transportation discussions. Councilmember Pust noted her ongoing interest in regional transportation issues; and her strong interest in continuing to build re- lationships for recognition of the City of Roseville in those discussions. Coun- cilmember Pust volunteered to continue to participate in regional transportation discussions, and opined that there was no need for Council action unless deemed necessary by the City Council at this time. It was the consensus of the City Council that Councilmember Pust continues to serve as a liaison for the community and its elected officials as she outlined; and to provide periodic reports to the full body as so indicated; or if she felt there was more proactive involvement needed by the City Council beyond her role as ob- server. Mayor Roe noted that additional conversation may be indicated for the City to participate in regional organizations through reinstating memberships in those groups. Councilmember McGehee noted Roger Toogood's interest in transportation is- sues; and suggested that Councilmember Pust contact him for any pertinent ideas. 15.
