Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11, 2015 Page 30 cil as they had provided for staff to do. Ms. Spencer opined that the CEC's Neighborhood Engagement Task Force would have relevant comments for this document, specifically related to civic engagement and ideas for strategic initia- tives, since the task force would not be concluded until mid-summer. In response to concerns raised about being considered customers versus citizens, Mayor Roe assured that this term had come up as part of Mr. Rapp's work involv- ing a goal of becoming"customer intimate," and the City Council certainly didn't think of its citizens as customers. Mayor Roe clarified that the point was to make sure the organization was paying attention to those participating in what was happening and being provided an opportunity for feedback to that process, not on- ly upfront, but also afterwards, to ensure things were continuing to improve. Mayor Roe clarified that the process had always involved advisory commissions participate as well as seeking public involvement. Mayor Roe further clarified that the five strategic priorities and KOI's were mostly the City Council's part in the process and intended to reflect what the City Council had already heard from its constituents through the election processes, the Imagine Roseville 2025 com- munity visioning process, and ongoing and constant contact with residents; and was certainly intended to be reflective of the community. Mayor Roe noted that the feedback from the public would serve to support whether or not the City Council heard those five community priorities correctly, while recognizing they were not all-inclusive; and the KOI's, when adopted, would provide direction in achieving those priorities, and further feedback and adjustments would be ongo- ing. Mayor Roe reiterated that this was a living document, and agreed that, now that the draft plan had been established, the idea of a Town Hall meeting made sense going forward with the process. Mayor Roe noted that part of the role for the CEC would be to provide that type of feedback, and therefore, opined that the process was in good shape from his perspective. Mayor Roe thanked the public for the corrections brought to the City Council's attention as well, and expressed appreciation for the community support and hoped it would be reflected in the feedback received going forward. Mayor Roe encouraged this draft plan get to residents by whatever means were available; and also encouraged public participation at the June 8 and June 15 meetings. At that time, if the City Council determined more time was needed, or if it was found that the five strategic priorities were inaccurate, Mayor Roe ad- vised additional time would be taken. If the five priorities were deemed accurate by the community, Mayor Roe then noted that the KOI's could be fixed and/or adjusted with the targets and strategic initiatives.
