Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11, 2015 Page 20 throughout the community as long as they were not out-of-character with the rest of the neighborhood. Councilmember Willmus agreed with Mayor Roe's comments, opining they were valid and well-taken, as long as the target thrown out was understood to be casu- ally estimated at 50 units at $350,000 or above. Mr. Bilotta expressed appreciation for Mayor Roe and Councilmembers touching on the "bottom up" aspect as a continuing consideration by the CEC and Neigh- borhood Association endeavors in deferring some items until seeing what comes out of the SE Roseville working group and then plug it in to various subgroups as specific topics came forward. Mr. Bilotta noted that it was anticipated that addi- tional members may come and go, but also that it was anticipated that a core group would remain long-term to address this target and various initiative. Mayor Roe suggested an inter jurisdictional role as well to involve the communi- ties of Maplewood and St. Paul. Mr. Bilotta advised that to-date the working group had not brought those cities in, but the Police Depaitment was approaching them, and the little seed continued to grow into other areas as efforts progressed. Mayor Roe advised that he had planted some seeds with the Mayor of Maplewood several months ago. Organizational Effectiveness Staff assigned: Assistant to City Manager/City Clerk Kari Collins, Infor- mation Technology Network Manager Terre Heiser, (then) Public Works Di- rector Dwayne Schwartz City Clerk Kari Collins provided an overview of the efforts for this priority. Specific to the survey topic, Mayor Roe stated that the more he considered re- source allocation, the more he found it as a tool providing a metric as to whether citizens felt their priorities were being met versus how those resources were being allocated. As part of the initiative to "conduct annual review of organizational interdepend- encies and collaboration opportunities," Councilmember McGehee suggested in- cluding external opportunities in surrounding communities as well. Ms. Collins assured Councilmember McGehee that would be a part of the discus- sion, noting the work already underway by Volunteer Coordinator Kelly O'Brien in pursuing public/private partnerships.
