Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 13, 2015 Page 17 Mayor Roe noted that got to the assessment item for follow-up by getting com- missions involved in the assessment process, using all advisory commissions and their expertise and in determining measurements. Ms. Christiansen noted the interest of the full CEC, and agreed with meeting more than once a year, perhaps quarterly for quick updates by the CEC, and if expecta- tions of advisory commissions are clearly stated by the City Council, it could pro- vide a quick update and check-in on what a commission should work on or what a relevant project may be. Ms. Christianson noted this would also provide for cus- tomizing and measuring as previously stated as a goal; and expressed appreciation that the City Council agreed the community engagement process should not be static, and while it may be trial and error, it needed to be organic as communities and people change through growth, requiring reassessment after measurement. Lisa McCormick,2950 Wheeler Street North Ms. McCormick suggested, in addition to advisory commissions, the City involve members of the public-at-large to participate in assessments of evaluating the pro- cess. Ms. McCormick expressed her appreciation with this discussion and com- mended the City Council for its work in bringing this forward. While hearing a commitment to community engagement, Ms. McCormick questioned where it was at in the process, recognizing that it took time and the community would continue to grow in the process. Ms. McCormick pointed out to Mayor Roe her appreciation of the comments in customizing the IAP-2 process, and suggested formation of a task force to look at this, perhaps moving ahead of some of the principles noted in the handouts, and customizing it to Roseville. Ms. McCormick referenced a recent statement of her neighbor Kathy Erickson, in recognizing the unique flavors of neighborhoods in Roseville that were not apparent in other first-ring suburbs, and thereby support- ing the idea of customizing the engagement process and evaluation tools for Ro- seville. Regarding the comments about the Dale Street Project and ownership of land ver- sus private ownership, Ms. McCormick questioned if that may be another mis- conception, opining that until stakeholders were involved in the process, it may be found that they're closer together than initially thought. Further opining that eve- ryone wants what's best for the community. Reiterating her comments from several meetings ago, Ms. McCormick spoke to the development of a Code of Ethics, and displayed an example entitled, "IAP2 Code of Ethics for Public Participation Practitioners" also provided in training materials from the LMC conference attended by Mayor Roe and Councilmember Laliberte; and suggested it be included for consideration.
