Just to give you a little brief history, um we started doing market studies actually in 2009. The HA took those on and then they updated that one in 2013. Um based upon the EDA now being involved in that responsibility, they we did our last one through the EDA in 2018. And so that's one reason why we brought it forward to you for updating.

I just working in the senior housing um sphere um the market I checked today and the average occupancy rate is about 75% right now to include those in Roseville. So, and there are actually two properties that I'm aware of in the Twin Cities that are closing for low occupancy. So, I think I can see that as like a general idea, but I also think it's important that we know actual things that are happening and that maybe there isn't such a great need.

There is still a demand for 350 market rate rental housing units. That's a significant number. Um 250 of those are general occupancy and 100 units of those are senior. There is still um a need for 100 general occupancy affordable rental units. And you might say I can't even believe that because we overbuilt what the 2018 study said we needed.

I do have to say what this whole report actually um what I came away with was Roseville's doing a lot of good work already. I think the programs we put in and and the development we've done to me in a way it just showed that we're really actually doing a good job. I mean obviously we can always do more things but it it was it reassured me that um I think we're actually ahead of the game a bit after looking at this.

But one of the things I was wondering is since we have this new source of funding in the local uh uh the LAA the um you know is that something where we could use those resources towards some of the things we identified like the uh 30% area median income type housing where you know we've got you know we've we've sort of made that decision from a policy point of view that we have a significant amount maybe not enough but a significant amount that's recently been built in the sort of the 50 or 80% area median income Um, but you know, we're still trying to figure out how to get more in that 30 and it requires more resources and things like that, but then also potentially addressing some of the homelessness issues.

My house in particular now has a patio slab that is cracked as well as we're experiencing water intrusion and in our lower level. Um we're working with a forensics building engineer um and are awaiting their findings but currently cannot rule out that these problems are connected.

And at that time, we've recently discovered the plan specs that the developer submitted and that the city approved are specs that are designed for a walkway path. Per two paving companies that we've spoke to, those specs are not designed to withstand the weight of vehicles, including construction trucks and emergency vehicles like fire trucks or ambulances.

I think it's probably appropriate before we put this on an agenda to understand what action the city council can take on on this these matters. I just don't know. Um and so I think that would be a part of it. But I think it's appropriate that we ask for some follow-up from staff to the council as a as sort of the first step as a result of this comment.

think of our our organization as a rowing team. Um, you know, everybody has their own role. Each of us is really working towards the same goal. And that goal, that finish line, you as council are the ones that are kind of helping us figure out where that finish line is. These are the goals that we're talking about.

And what we came back with was while we always strive to have fun every time we connect with community and want to be informed and in partnership with community, that doesn't always mean that it's going to feel fun for the community, right? If we have to have meetings that are informing folks of certain things that are happening in the community, they may not have a lot of fun, but we need to make sure they're informed, right?

I have a question on goal three and maybe it's more of a clarification when we're talking about multimodal uh transportation. agree that fostering, you know, public transportation, bikes, pedestrians is important. Although a core part of, you know, Roseville and our businesses and the nature of the businesses we have is also making sure that our road infrastructure is there. I'm wondering if if there's anything that needs to be clarified on that goal to also note that we're not I not that we wouldn't prioritize roads but if it needs something to note that we also support you know the system that most residents of Roseville currently use in addition to this that it's a goal that you know Roseville maintains or you know advocates for you know safe roads intentional roads...

But we can't at the same time not acknowledge that some of the traditional means of transportation continue to be one of the modes that is in multimodal. So yeah, it's a it's a challenge to figure it out.
