about being a Commissioner, what were the challenges, and what would they change. <br /> Commissioner Abdulle explained he liked the idea of having joint meetings between the Commissions and the <br /> City Council because this would lead to them having shared power. He supported the Commission holding two <br /> or three joint meetings in order to learn from the Commissioners. He believed these meetings would have more <br /> value than the Council carrying over their voices as a liaison. He indicated the facetime between the <br /> Commissioners and the City Council would have value. Massopust thanked Councilmember Abdulle for his <br /> feedback. <br /> Councilmember Abdulle stated he would like the Council to hold more discussions on affordable housing, <br /> even if these discussions were held in 2022. He suggested the Council review the recent census data when <br /> holding this discussion. <br /> Councilmember Allen commented he would be happy to further discuss affordable housing. He noted he <br /> would also like to discuss single family rental regulations. He indicated he would also like to learn more about <br /> the City's inspection process in order to improve overall safety. <br /> Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas discussed the model Roseville has in place to assist with funding affordable housing. <br /> She supported the Council having a conversation around this topic in order to develop strategies for the <br /> community. She suggested the Council consider holding a Town Hall style meeting this fall in order to <br /> connect with the community. She commented on the benefits of the City having a scorecard in place and <br /> suggested the Council discuss key metrics at a future worksession meeting. <br /> Councilmember Abdulle explained he supported the idea of the City having a resource fair at the Community <br /> Center. He noted he supported the City having a scorecard in place as well, especially as the City begins its <br /> DEI venture. He indicated he would like to learn more about the dashboard points on the website along with <br /> traffic data from the Public Safety Department. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the traffic stop data that was recently discussed by the Public Safety <br /> Commission. <br /> Councilmember Dunsworth reported this gets back to her point, that it would be valuable to know more about <br /> what was going on within each Commission so that if there are thoughts or opinions, they can be shared. She <br /> believed the City could improve the communication cycle between the Council and its Commissions in order <br /> to keep things moving forward. <br /> Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas stated it would help for the Council to better understand the work plans of each <br /> Commission. In addition, the weekly updates should include the agenda items that will be discussed for each <br /> Commission. <br /> Councilmember Dunsworth supported these recommendations. <br /> Councilmember Axberg commented on the value of the information from the census information. She wanted <br /> to see the City thinking long term and considering how it was positioning itself to meet the needs of the <br /> changing community. <br /> Councilmember Allen suggested City initiated advocacy issues be considered at a future meeting. <br /> Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas recommended this be addressed by the Council in December. <br />
