Sam has both a deep knowledge and a passion for local government finance has done every single role possible that a finance person would do uh working for local government. So we're really happy to have him on board.

Thank you for the opportunity to be the new finance director for the city. It's been two great weeks. Uh, I got to see a lot of things and I'm excited to learn and grow in my career with the with the city of Roseville.

Members shall not participate in immigration enforcement and shall not inquire about a person's immigration status unless such an inquiry is directly related to local criminal investigations.

So that language really wasn't relevant to the to the work that we do. Um we do work with some of our federal partners on things like human trafficking. Um but it really does not there's no ties to immigration that we're working on any task force.

the district court issued an order on the state and Twin Cities application for a preliminary injunction um in joining essentially the federal government from enforcing immigration um arrests in the state of Minnesota. that injunction was denied.

I have some misgivings about the last section... What it was was requests by federal immigration officials [snorts] for assistance from this department should be directed to a supervisor. And what it's become has got like all these wiggle words... I would love to see that go away.

In a perfect world, we would always have a super supervisor respond. That is the expectation. Whenever one of these calls comes in, whether it's a 911 call, we want a supervisor to go. The reality is we have one supervisor often working the entire street and covering six or seven officers.

Again, numerous tires are being placed on the grass area along Lincoln Avenue. Um outside of the requirements of code.

What happens next? If I were to make an assumption, I would say that I'll probably be here in about a month with the same or similar request.

I I only see they're only going to to comply if we pass this and that's why I support it. We have to get their attention, unfortunately.

Over the years we've had lots of numerous complaints from residents from both speeding uh visibility over the hill, close calls, and then a lot of requests for an allway stop at Pasco Brooks.

So there is an option um any intersection can always be uh added and always stop at the discretion of you know if there's an engineering judgment to do it. I said staff has generally been discouraged to do that because it it does uh doesn't meet any of these warrants and then the hazard of adding a stop sign can actually sometimes be worse than just adding a four-way stop.

I've lived there for 25 years and have never seen or been informed of an accident of any kind on that intersection. That fact alone by any standard is perfect. So the least expensive, most effective, therefore efficient solution would be to do nothing and maintain the safety record proven by history.

If you always pull up to it, so the intent of a stop sign is to a sign right away, not to control speed. So if you um if you show up to a stop sign and no one is ever there, people tend to start rolling stop signs.

I think the sidewalk is a safety feature and I think that not having the four-way stop, unless we need it, as Mr. Hines said, I think is the the way to go. I don't I don't see that as a thing at this point in the neighborhood that they're they're wanting.
