Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 5, 2015 Page 14 ferent core cultures represented based on collaboration to cultivation. Ms. McCormack expressed interest in the City allowing neighborhood associations to be part of the process, opining that the more minds and eyes the better solution available; and suggested the process and proposal be adapted to fit Roseville. Motion McGehee moved, Etten seconded, to proceed with hiring Craig Rapp to facilitate the City's Strategic Planning process in an amount not to exceed $4,950. In speaking in support of the motion, Councilmember McGehee suggested taking time at the next Councilmember to determine the best direction for the retreat and shape the process. In speaking in support of the motion, Councilmember Etten suggested completing discussions at this meeting rather than deferring them. Councilmember Etten suggested adjusting Mr. Rapp's proposal, based on input from tonight's City Council discussion and public comment, to refocus to include the Imagine Rose- ville 2025 community visioning document and the most recent community survey as part of his questionnaire and highlighting future work,using that information to lead discussions and provide a framework for focus points for staff to work within in the coming year. Councilmember Etten noted that those documents included a broad engagement of the community, with the survey based on a snapshot of how residents felt the City was doing based on those visioning documents. Mayor Roe spoke in support of Councilmember Etten's suggestion. Councilmember Willmus offered his support if the Council pursues this direction; however he noted the value of having public comment included as part of that format. Friendly Amendment Willmus moved a friendly amendment to include an opportunity for public com- ment at the end of Session 1 and at the end of Session 2, and prior to the Sum- mary Report. As the seconder of the motion, Councilmember Etten stated that he could agree to receiving public comment, but questioned the timing and frequency of that public comment. Recognizing that it would lengthen the overall process, Councilmember Willmus clarified that his intent was to provide an opportunity for public comment as stra- tegic planning efforts became available for dissemination, allowing the public to weigh in on that information available to-date, with a similar process prior to pro- duction of the summary report.
