At the request of Councilmember Pust, Ms. Bloom advised that crews were cleaning out hydrants and cul-de-sacs. Councilmember Johnson questioned if postponing the decision until the February 14, 2011 regular business meeting would cause further hardship for residents. Mr. El-Banna advised that residents could wait,but were seeking clear resolution. Councilmember Johnson suggested that this meeting be added to the February 7, 2011 Special City Council Works Plan Meeting II if it was held; and that the posted agenda be reflected accordingly. Councilmember Pust questioned if the amount shown in the referenced letter was a total for all damages or just those of Mr. El-Banna. Mr. El-Banna advised that some of the damages were actual and some estimates, as all had not been repaired yet; and noted that he had receipts from other neighbors as well. Councilmember Pust advised that the City Council could make a policy decision on what they were paying; however, she noted the need to have an accurate accounting of re- ceipted damages before doing so. Mr. El-Banna advised that he would make those receipts available to City Manager Mali- nen or City Engineer Debra Bloom by Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Mayor Roe noted that the February 7, 2011 Special Meeting may be cancelled depending on the amount of progress made tonight; at which time the City Council would make a decision at the February 14, 2011 regular business meeting. Mayor Roe advised that, at the request of several Councilmembers, a viewing would be held of the brief documentary recently aired by a local television station discussing the City of Roseville's aging community demographics. 3.
