In particular, consider <br />establishing a residents' task force to assess and make <br />recommendations regarding the transparency and <br />accessibility of the Council's budgeting process. <br />b� Host two or three general community meetings per year <br />in various locations (outside of city hall) to talk with <br />citizens about issues of concern, update citizens on <br />upcoming events and development proposals, and build <br />trusting relationships within the community. <br />c) Recognize and reach out to the changing demographics <br />of Roseville (increasing communities of color, aging <br />popularion, and other marginalized groups) in order to <br />understand how best to keep them informed and involved. <br />d) Sponsar an annual training/conference on the latest <br />trends, technologies and tools used to engage citizens. City <br />staff and residents should jointly plan and publicize the <br />event, and be encouraged to participate. <br />2) Increase Effective Public <br />Participation in City Council and <br />Commissions <br />2.1 Policy Intent or Practice: The city should <br />foster public pa�ticipation at both the <br />council and commission level. <br />We recommend the City: <br />a) Schedule occasional city council and commission <br />meetings in neighborhoods provided that meeting locations <br />are well publicized, ADA-compliant, and accommodate <br />cable television coverage. <br />b) Formalize the current mayor's practices of recognizing <br />members of the public in city council meetings and asking <br />if there is any public comment after each substantive <br />decision item is presented by staff and prior to discussion <br />and final vote. <br />HRC Current Status Review of 2011 Strategic Plan and 2012 Initiatives prepared and distributed l 1-28-2012 <br />
