Member Masche noted that the <br />2 <br />HRA was now strategically placed to do more good for the taxpayers and citizens of Roseville. <br />3 <br /> <br />4 <br />Member Lee <br />5 <br />opined that the goals were right-on and expressed her excitement in moving forward. <br />6 <br /> <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />committees/councils and boards, noted that this is what the HRA was now primed to do. <br />10 <br /> <br />11 <br />Member Quam concurred with the comments of Member Willmus; opining that today had been an <br />12 <br />effective use of time; and she noted the new energy and synergy with the many positive things, and the <br />13 <br />excitement she felt moving forward as a body. <br />14 <br /> <br />15 <br />Member Majerus, observing where the HRA had started and where it was now, expressed amazement. <br />16 <br />Member Majerus noted that the bottom line was the return for Roseville citizens; opining that this was <br />17 <br />hat those plans be effectively and transparently <br />18 <br />communicated to the public. <br />19 <br /> <br />20 <br />Mr. Trudgeon opined that today was a very worthwhile time; and expressed appreciation for the energy <br />21 <br />and enthusiasm he had observed from the HRA. Mr. Trudgeon opined that the goals outlined by the <br />22 <br />HRA were doable and the right steps and on target with the needs of the community at this time. Mr. <br />23 <br />Trudgeon opined that the City of Roseville was primed for the right place and time to make this shift <br />24 <br />with the improving economy and demographics outlined for the future community; and could serve as a <br />25 <br />landing spot for a lot of people; and having the potential to place the community ahead of the curve. <br />26 <br /> <br />27 <br />Next Steps <br />28 <br />Ms. Raye advised that she and staff would provide a draft of the goals, action steps, identify decision- <br />29 <br />making points, and budget/resource implications by the June HRA meeting. When considering whether <br />30 <br />to have the information available by the May HRA meeting, Chair Maschka advised that he would <br />31 <br />rather have a good, well-thought-out draft rather than attempting to rush it. <br />32 <br /> <br />33 <br />Mr. Trudgeon noted that the joint meeting of the HRA and City Council was scheduled for May; <br />34 <br />however, he suggested that it could be postponed until June or July to facilitate completion of the <br />35 <br />strategic plan document. <br />36 <br /> <br />37 <br />HRA members concurred by consensus. <br />38 <br /> <br />39 <br />Ms. Kelsey noted the importance of HRA members attending that joint meeting to allow the City <br />40 <br />Council to interact with the HRA, not staff. <br />41 <br /> <br />42 <br />Member Willmus concurred, noting how the Parks and Recreation staff had stepped back from the <br />43 <br />Master Plan process and let it be driven by the Commission and citizen advisory groups. Member <br />44 <br /> <br />45 <br /> <br />46 <br />Consensus of members was that this was the most productive meeting ever held by the HRA; and the <br />47 <br />consensus of members concurred that morning meetings were better. <br />48 <br /> <br />49 <br />Ms. Raye, in conclusion, and as a final check, asked the following, to which the HRA as a body <br />50 <br />responded affirmatively: Is the Plan inspiring? Is it achievable? Does it reflect the input and data <br />51 <br />received to-date? Does it set a clear direction, identifiable when you get there? <br />52 <br /> <br />53 <br />10. Adjournment. <br />54 <br />By consensus, Chair Maschka adjourned the meeting at 11:52 a.m. <br />55 <br /> <br />
