We are requesting that item 7A which is the request for an abatement for 3119 migd Drive be removed from consideration tonight uh we have been in contact with the property owner and want to work through with him to resolve the code issues we will bring this back if that is unsuccessful in a future meeting but there's no need to take action tonight.

I always like to start with this graphic because it tells what we do in Corridor study planning we help people move along our Highway and we help people get across it and get over it.

I think the statistic was 27% or so of students at the school are choice and so are coming from more distant locations either being driven by parents or by themselves and that is an important access point that helps helps maintain vehicle flow.

Without those new additions I just adding congestion makes my head explode so without those new intersections the pathways would just go straight through we wouldn't have to worry about um I don't know maybe I'm wrong maybe because of the loops that are there right now you know it's critical but you know we've talked about how can we just carry people over it's a critical thing I think it's an expansion for Roseville um for people getting to work and the facilities but I guess it's the congestion piece that blows up my brain.

As a biker or a walker there's really no other way you could get across that people do go incredibly fast as they're coming off of those um accelerating and you know getting off and on either direction and so I think the only way that you could actually add pedestrian or traffic on that would be to do SUB type where you have to bring everyone to a complete stop otherwise even then I I would worry that it would take a little bit of learning to get people to uh be cognizant of the various uh speeds that people who aren't in a big vehicle are going.

Approximately one-third of residents um of multi-unit housing are involuntarily exposed to secondhand smoke where they live.

The Minnesota State Fire Marshall has said year after year that the number one cause of known fire um related death is due to smoking materials.

What about the rights of the smoker? So if you are saying you can't and and when you say that the low-income um people are affected the most do you know what percentage of low income are smokers because I'm just trying to make sure that if if you know we want to make sure balance people's rights and and so I'm just kind of curious one if you know how many are smoking and then what about their rights to smoke how do we handle that?

Your license fee needs to reflect the costs of providing that service of whatever service it is you provide to a licensed establishment so you would need to demonstrate that uh a building that was not smoke free is higher cost to the city than a building that is smoke free in order to justify that disparity.

I would say that even if we were to enact a smokefree requirement for all multif family I would not want it to be designed to create the opportunity to evict people that's not that's not what we do with our licensing program and this would be contrary to that.

The only other way for the uh kids in need to receive uh bonding dollars is the City of Roseville to actually receive the funding because it's tax exempt bonds that are issued to fund that so we would need to be involved very directly into the process and this is not simply a pass through that we receive the money and pass along we have to have an ownership interest in uh the building itself.

We would need to ensure that um the public purposes as outlined um in the award and legislation is met um for what I have been told 125% of the lifetime of the project which is uh 40 years.

The legislation requires that if for some reason this organization goes away that the city takes over that program.
