Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 9, 2015 Page 32 support from the City Council, and asked that staff review the current CSO job description and develop a list of pros and cons for City Council consideration at their next presentation. For the benefit of Councilmember Laliberte's concerns, Chief Mathwig clarified that the tuition portion is not included in the Cadet job description. McGehee moved, Roe seconded, TABLING action on this item and directing staff and Police Department management to review whether they could rotate the CSO position to cover duties outlined in the job description to incorporate duties of the current CSO and proposed Cadet position descriptions; and to also investi- gate and report back on the tuition issue. Roll Call Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus, Etten and Roe. Nays: None. b. Discussion of Civic Engagement Module and Request to Contract for Module Development and Website Integration Communications Manager Garry Bowman and Community Engagement Com- missioner and Website Subcommittee member Scot Becker were present for this presentation, as detailed in the RCA. A demonstration model entitled 'Speak UP, Edina!" was presented as an exam- ple from a current Granicus customer. Councilmember McGehee opined that this program clearly had a better look that others viewed to-date,but questioned the limitations of and/or ability for residents utilize many practical features based on current city website traffic (e.g. utility bill receipts and/or recreation class sign-ups, alerting staff of potholes etc.). Coun- cilmember McGehee referenced the Roseville Issues Forum (RIF) website com- pared to this pilot program, and ways to filter and archive topics without extensive staff time to filter that information as well as staff time needed to become aware of and remove offensive posts as applicable. Mr. Becker responded that this module was built more for collaboration of com- ments to shape discussions as a valuable asset beyond that of RIF built for dia- logue. Mayor Roe noted that this module was by subscription on notice and would better manage participants not receiving unwanted e-mails in their inbox. Councilmember Etten asked if staff envisioned one staff member periodically re- viewing the site during the day to forward applicable posts to the appropriate de- partment, and how much staff time would be required.
