Regular City Council Meeting Monday,February 25, 2013 Page 21 From that conceptual level, Mr. Miller moved to the realities for Roseville over the last two-year cycle, with 2012 being year two of that cycle. Mr. Miller re- viewed components at this time beginning with review of the 2011 CPMP, an an- nual financial review by the external auditors as well as quarterly financial up- dates to the City Council by staff, the mid-term review and correction and priori- ties shifted in 2012 as well as addressing new costs needing adjustment and sub- sequent revised 2013 budget as approved by the City Council in December of 2012. With the City Council's formal adoption in May of 2012 of the CPMP, Mr. Miller advised that Department Head based their strategic plans on those City Council goals and vision, presented to the City Council in August of 2012, identifying ac- tion plans to achieve those goals; now projected in 2013 as part of their depart- ment program components. Since the strategic plan was done, Mr. Miller suggested that in real life, the next step was how to build on it, which would drive an update of the CIP, set budget and program priorities by the City Council in March or April of 2013, and affirm and refine financial policies. Once that was done, Mr. Miller advised that devel- opment of the next biennial budget could occur. Mr. Miller noted that tremen- dous staff resources went into that process, but that when City Manager Malinen presented his City Manager-recommended biennial budget in June or July of 2013, it represented the 100 to 1000 hours collectively put in by staff. Mr. Miller noted that the commitment of time needed by the City Council would also be time-consuming and continue into the second year of the cycle. City Manager Malinen noted that staff continued to look forward beyond a 2014/2015 biennial budget to future biennial budgets in order to provide that long-term, sustainable decision-making. Councilmember McGehee opined that, since the Strategic Plan was already done by the previous Council, the new City Council members should be allowed to weigh in. . City Manager Malinen advised that discussions were underway to determine how best to accommodate council membership changes due to elections. Councilmember McGehee opined that given changing economics over the course of a year,the Strategic Plan needed revisiting anyway. City Manager Malinen advised that a mid-biennial reviewed allowed such an op- portunity to determine what if any budget adjustments were needed, similar to the process followed in 2012 for the current year 2013.
