Neighborhood and Community Engagement Task Force Recommendations Commission Evaluation For each item, assign a number between 1-5. (1 is high, 5 is low) Rate how important you think this is for our commission to address Commission Your and your personal interest in working on the item. Priority interest 1 Integrate Citizen Engagement into City Hall Culture Continue its practice of forming resident task forces to assess significant issues and make recommendations to the city council or city manager. In particular, consider establishing a 1.1.a.i residents' task force to assess and make recommendations regarding the transparency and accessibility of the Council's budgeting process. Make the budget process more transparent and understandable to residents, and utilize other resources such as a Roseville U course on budgeting, neighborhood workshops, 1.1.a.ii and/or webinars to engage residents in budgeting well before the budget is finalized. (Also see Recommendation 6.1 d, below. Host two or three general community meetings per year in various locations (outside of city hall) to talk with citizens about issues of concern, update citizens on upcoming events and 1.1.b development proposals, and build trusting relationships within the community. We encourage the city to seek cosponsors for such meetings if there are neighborhood associations in those areas. Recognize and reach out to the changing demographics of Roseville (increasing 1.1.c communities of color, aging population, and other marginalized groups) in order to understand how best to kee them informed and involved. Sponsor an annual training/conference on the latest trends, technologies and tools used to 1.1.d engage citizens. City staff and residents should jointly plan and publicize the event, and be encoura ed to artici ate. 2 Increase Effective Public Participation in City Council and Commissions Schedule occasional city council and commission meetings in neighborhoods provided that 2.1.a meeting locations are well publicized, ADA-compliant, and accommodate cable television covera e. Formalize the current mayor's practices of recognizing members of the public in city 2.1.b council meetings and asking if there is any public comment after each substantive decision item is presented by staff and prior to discussion and final vote. This will help ensure that future mayors and councils follow this example of inviting public participation. Have commission meetings follow these same rules and procedures as the city council, 2.1.c and as described above. Fully utilize existing print and electronic means to announce openings on city commissions and task forces. Such means include but are not limited to the Roseville City News, 2.2.a Roseville Patch, Roseville Review, Roseville Issues Forum, and the neighborhood network NextDoor. 2.2.b Pursue outreach efforts aimed at underre resented rou s. Request staff report to the City Council when any commissioner misses more than four 2.3.a meetin s in a rollin twelve month eriod. Page 1 of 6
