Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 8,2014 Page 10 Councilmember Laliberte also expressed her appreciation of the hard work by the CEG in getting a new commission up and running and dealing with different per- sonalities; and expressed her excitement about the great work yet to come for- ward. Referencing the Task Force report, Councilmember Laliberte noted how cumbersome it would have been for the entire CEG to address the many issues brought forward; and expressed her support for the recommendations brought forward to-date and as detailed in the RCA. Councilmember Laliberte advised that she shared the logistical concerns raised by Councilmember Etten, and noted the challenge in implementing the recommendations in getting information to those renters and residents in condominiums or co-ops that may inadvertently be excluded from current communication efforts. Councilmember Laliberte noted her personal interest in this area, and advised that she would be following the ef- forts of the CEG closely as they moved forward. Chair Grefenberg suggested one way to accomplish that communication effort could be through formation of a task force to advise the CEG on how best to im- plement some of those items.

Regarding hosting a conference on community engagement in Roseville, Coun- cilmember Laliberte asked for more information on proposed speakers and format of such a conference; as well as seeking additional information on how and what had been done to-date regarding the referenced request for proposals (RFP's). Member Gardella advised that details were not in place yet, but the intent of the working group was to map out a structure, then come back as a full CEG to make the recommendations, targeting the fall of 2015 for holding a conference. Mem- ber Gardella opined that the first conference probably wouldn't be too large; and suggested some potential agenda items could include happenings in other com- munities with similar commissions to the CEG to talk about their experiences, successes, and lessons learned; inviting different cultural groups in Roseville to talk about their personal experiences and areas needing attention; and those multi- family rental building owners and/or managers who have successfully engaged renters in the past; as well as hearing from the City Council on specific areas of community engagement of interest to them. Member Becker advised that regarding the CEG's RFP module and process to- date had been creation of criteria by the committee, evaluation of vendors, and de- livery of a Request for Information on those vendors to Communications Manager Garry Bowman. Member Becker noted that one of three vendors was the current vendor for the City's website update, and their work would come with the website package. Member Becker noted that part of the criteria in selecting a vendor
