Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 23,2012 Page 24 night's meeting materials and focused on residential input. Mr. Malinen advised that this would allow the City Council to take those survey results (Attachment A) and combine with the Imagine Roseville 2025 goal process (Attachment B). Mr. Malinen advised that this attachment was staff's attempt to match survey ques- tions with vision statements and goals, as well as areas of focus based on survey results. Mr. Malinen suggested that between staff and the City Council, this could identify ten (10)broad areas that staff could then develop into more specific strat- egies for achievement. City Manager Malinen suggested that a Cobalt representa- tive could participate in the strategic planning meeting for a maximum of fifteen minutes, at no additional cost to the City.

Councilmember Pust noted that strategic planning was only as valuable as those making the investment at the table, and that the process should be clearly laid out in advance, with any "homework" assignments com- pleted before the meeting. Councilmember Pust stated that it was her preference to have the City Council and Department Heads around the same table, rather than relying on other people's ideas, to discuss where the City currently was, where it will be in three and five years, and beyond that and how to accomplish listed goals. Mayor Roe concurred that some things were known intuitively, and some the City may not be able to influence, therefore City resources shouldn't be expended to
