Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 14,2012 Page 20 City Manager Malinen noted that this also allowed, in a biennial budget process, one year devoted to strategic planning (year 2) versus budget planning done in the first year. Councilmember McGehee stated that she was very happy with the document, and thanked staff for their nice condensation of long form presentations. Coun- cilmember McGehee suggested that under "Survey and Community Visioning Process" (page 4), additional forums for community input be included to receive citizen stakeholder comments. Mr. Miller advised that this list was not intended to be all inclusive of every available option to gather citizen participation in an annual cycle, and noted that there were many planning processes not listed and outside the realm of this bi- ennial process. Mr. Miller advised that the intent of this document was to pro- vide for a broader, visioning process for resource allocation, but not directly linked to budget allocation. Councilmember McGehee inquired how the City could measure their areas of focus; Mr. Miller responded that this would be a Council decision to make, with staff providing guidance. Councilmember McGehee opined that the Cobalt Survey process did not seem to provide the performance measurement capabilities desired to allow citizens to provide adequate input to their elected officials regarding goal achievement. She opined that she would prefer a survey instrument that was more local so that the Council would be able to see how Roseville did relative to other metro cities. Mr. Miller clarified that the intent of this document was simply on a conceptual level, and was not intended to identify a level or dictate a type of survey. Councilmember McGehee opined that the devil was in the details; and while this was a very good plan, the City Council would need to be cognizant of those details moving forward. Johnson moved, Pust seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10982 (Attachment A) entitled, "Resolution Adopting the 2012-2013 Performance Management Program;" amended to include under"Budget and Program Priorities" (page 10) language indicating that the "addition or removal of programs should be consid ered prior to the City Council's ranking exercise." Roll Call Ayes: Pust; McGehee; Johnson; and Roe. Nays: None.
