May 11, 2026 EDA and City Council Meeting

The City of Roseville Economic Development Authority (EDA) and City Council held a joint meeting on May 11, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related matters. The EDA approved an acquisition funding agreement and resolution of support to apply for a Livable Communities grant from the Met Council to acquire vacant land for constructing three affordable land trust homes with Habitat for Humanity. The board also reviewed the Economic Development Authority Fund 722, which is used for property abatements, and approved reallocating excess cash above $50,000 to subsidize energy audits for homeowners, potentially saving levy funds over multiple years. Additionally, the EDA authorized the release of a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for legal services, updating the selection process and budget for 2027, with member Grath appointed to the scoring committee. The City Council received and accepted the 2025 Comprehensive Financial Report, which included audit findings related to internal controls and a significant prior period adjustment involving a delayed payment of over $1 million. The council also discussed updates to the community survey to better align with strategic planning goals, including revisions to questions on housing needs, community safety, and city services. No votes were taken on the survey changes at this meeting. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn to a closed session for the city manager's performance review.
