Councilmember McGehee thanked Mr. Schwartz for handling this transition and dissolution; referencing her liaison role with the GLWMO Board. Councilmem- ber McGehee expressed her hope that the RWMWD would take advantage of the considerable work of the GLWMO Board, member city staff, consultants and public input put into the DRAFT Third Generation Plan going forward. While normally an advocate for local control, Councilmember McGhee advised that, in this case given the significant storm water issues in the metropolitan area, she thought an organization providing larger oversight and pooled resources made more sense. Councilmember McGehee expressed her support for the RWMWD organization and advantages through such a merger. Mayor Roe echoed those comments; and on behalf of the City Council and com- munity, expressed appreciation to the GLWMO Board for their service; noting that future recognition of their efforts would be formally taken. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; McGehee; Johnson; and Roe. Nays: None. 13. Business Items—Presentations/Discussions a. Discuss Strategic Planning Aspirations and Mission Statement(s) At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Malinen provided introductory com- ments related to the three (3) attachments included in the meeting packet for this item. Those Attachments included: the City's existing mission statement as out- lined in the 2012 budget (Attachment A) and incorporated as part of each annual budget; mission statement and aspiration suggestions prepared by Mayor Roe (At- tachment B) that included community aspirations as developed through the Imag- ine Roseville 2025 community visioning process; Councilmember McGehee (At- tachment C) and Department Heads (Attachment D). Mayor Roe read the current Mission Statement (Attachment A), offering an op- portunity to build upon it; and noted that Attachments B and C, he and Coun- cilmember McGehee had both chosen to list the community aspirations first, fol- lowed by the organizational mission statement, with the Department Head version the other way around (Attachment D). Mayor Roe questioned individual Coun- cilmembers on their preference.
