Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 22,2015 Page 22 Mayor Roe agreed with Councilmember Etten's comments regarding updating the CIP. Mayor Roe expressed his agreement in only going through 2016 from the point of view that 2015 is already half over, and if pursuing a similar exercise as this in 2016 it only be done with the purpose to further tweak this document. When talking about strategic planning, and in response to the public and citizen advisory commissions, Mayor Roe opined that the City Council reworded it to re- flect the intent as a priority planning exercise, and not an exercise to develop a new Imagine Roseville 2025 community document. Mayor Roe clarified that such a community visioning process would be the focus in a few years, and the perception of this process became much larger than originally intended. Howev- er, Mayor Roe expressed his appreciation to his colleagues that the original intent was being refocused, which should make the public more comfortable with the outcome. Mayor Roe reiterated that the purpose of this exercise and subsequent document was not replacing the CEC discussion and larger community vision; and also emphasized that the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning pro- cess would need to be revisited in the near future, and would be an entirely sepa- rate process than this. Councilmember Laliberte Responses Councilmember Laliberte stated that, if organizational effectiveness was eliminat- ed from the document, she was fine with that. As for effective governance, if to remain or be disseminated, Councilmember Laliberte suggested it be discussed further at a future City Council Worksession. Regarding renaming community outreach, Councilmember Laliberte opined that some still didn't serve to measure engagement. If better direction is needed for citizen advisory commission, Councilmember Laliberte suggested the CEC pro- vide recommendation to the City Council but not include it in this document for eventual adoption. Specific to housing and redevelopment priorities, Councilmember Laliberte noted the many entities working on those items, including the Planning Commission, HRA, Community Development Department and CEC. Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of retaining the priority for infrastruc- ture sustainability. Councilmember McGehee asked that her four overarching focus areas be incorpo- rated into each and every goal as finalized, and including: educational outreach, transparency, formulation of policy, and process.
