“They are going to meet together, talk about the issue and then make recommendation to council about what council should do," Mayor Nathan Triplett said.

Triplett said he would like to see representatives from the East Lansing Police Department, student groups like ASMSU, property owners and those familiar with the city code come together to be part of the group, but it will come down to who is interested in being a part of it.

The city manager's office will oversee the forming of the group, Triplett said.

Megan Clark, assistant to the city manager, said there is still no timeline for when the group will be formed and start meeting, but said it is likely the University Student Commission will be a part of the group. The commission doesn't start meeting until October and Clark said any action, including the roof ordinance, will likely be delayed until after the commission's first meeting.

Clark said the group will look at the potential problems and issues that come with recreational use of roofs to determine if the city wants or needs the ordinance. If it was deemed necessary, Clark said the group would then look at how to word the ordinance.
