Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 23,2012 Page 25 solve those problems that the City may not be technically or statutorily able to re- solve. In using City Manager Malinen's recommendation, one option would be to determine a focus based on those resident satisfaction levels in the lower quadrant but in broader categories, and whether that made sense as part of the discussion for strategic planning. Mayor Roe noted the senior issues brought up earlier to- night as part of that discussion focus, and how to allocate City resources on areas of focus to accomplish existing and future goals. Councilmember Pust suggested that the process be designed to allow a specific amount of time for all at the table to name what that is; however, she didn't think another adult was needed to provide that information; and reiterated her interest in a maximum amount of fifteen minutes to hear from Cobalt before proceeding with the rest of the meeting to make the best use of everyone's time. Councilmember Johnson stated that he was not a fan of having the survey infor- mation guide the strategic planning discussion; but was open to a very brief presentation as part of the discussion. Councilmember Johnson opined that the last goal planning session that was held was the most meaningful on in the last three (3) years, with staff and individual Councilmembers looking at the "musts" and"ought to's" and providing a simple, but effective agenda, with most of those goals having been accomplished. Councilmember Johnson suggested that indi- vidual Councilmembers and Department Heads come prepared with their short- and long-term goals. Mayor Roe assured Councilmembers that he and City Manager Malinen were not suggesting the entire planning session revolve around the Cobalt presentation. Councilmember McGehee opined that last year's work plan that had been devel- oped from the strategic planning had been effective, and suggested that it be built upon at this planning workshop. However, Councilmember McGehee suggested that, in addition to the survey results and Imagine Roseville 2025, the Roseville 2030 Comprehensive Plan's goals and policies, which was another community- driven document and process, be used in the strategic planning and not relegated as a secondary zoning tool, but part of long-term planning. Councilmember McGehee suggested a fifteen minute presentation by Cobalt, with all participants also providing — in writing — one or two short-term and one or two long-term goals. Mayor Roe and Councilmember Johnson concurred with that suggestion. Mayor Roe suggested that this year's strategic planning work from the City Council's work plan, and based on accomplishments to-date,as well as additional items for 2013 and 2014. 3
