Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 11,2007 Page 15 10. Other Business Items a. Imagine Roseville 2025 - Receive an Imagine Roseville 2025 Pro- gress Update and Report on the Communications Plan City Manager Malinen provided a bench handout entitled, "Imagine Roseville 2025 Goals/Strategies - Department: Finance," as a sample of staffs current department-specific brainstorming, projected time- lines, and proposed strategy in addressing the Imagine Roseville 2025 Goals/Strategies. Councilmember Kough questioned what advantage a community sur- vey would do beyond the community visioning already completed. City Manager Malinen advised that staff was not seeking a commu- nity survey at this point; however, noted its benefits for the future in determining community support for ongoing projects, and assisting the City Council in their policy-making role and how those policies were received by the public. As the second part of the update on the Imagine Roseville 2025, staff reviewed a draft Communications Plan, as created by staff and a sub- committee of Councilmembers Pust and Roe. Communication Specialists Tim Pratt and Carolyn Curti presented the outline, to ensure stakeholders consisting of residents, Councilmem- bers, Advisory Commissions, staff, and community members includ- ing businesses, civic groups, faith communities, visitors, schools (stu- dents, administrators, teachers, and parents) remained and/or became involved. Ms. Curti reviewed the key messages to keep before the public. The "Imagine Roseville Communications Plan" is attached. Mr. Pratt reviewed potential ideas or products to accomplish keeping the community involved, and projected cost estimates. Mr. Pratt noted the suggestion for annual recognition/celebration, or "report card" at a Town Hall meeting to present awards and update the com- munity on progress and recognize community involvement and to continue encouraging dialogue.
