Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 13, 2016 Page 24 obviously the EDA and structural planning changes made since the 2008 plan up- date needed to be updated, including HDR designations. Mayor Roe noted it was helpful that the city was already planning to review HDR desigriations, and integrate those analyses without the need for a separate outside consultant. Mayor Roe concurred with an option "b" scope as well as engage- ment strategies that made sure the goals and policy section of each chapter at a _ _ - - - — --- — --- --- minimum met with acceptance of the general public for what the coinmunity was looking for and to make sure they were given time to specifically weigh in on goals. Mayor Roe noted that may have something to do with the Imagine Rose- ville 2025 community visioning process to ensure those remained in play without opening up that vision again from a clean slate and starting over; but instead to use this opportunity as a check-in with the public to make sure the city is still on the right track or make adjustments as needed. Mayor Roe noted that one of the downsides of that community visioning process was that it had been huge and unwieldy. If that could be simplified to a simple draft of aspirations, which had proven to be unsatisfactory to him and Councilmember McGehee, Mayor Roe suggested that a more succinct process could prove more beneficial. Councilmember McGehee agreed, opining that if groups were vigorously sought out and small enough for engagement and interaction, all components for goals, vision and a lot of HDR considerations and questions heard throughout the com- munity could be addressed and HDR sites defined community-wide. Coun- cilmeinber McGehee referenced the "Thrive" document, noting that it wasn't pre- dicting much grawth or increase in affordable housing needs; therefore not strap- ping the city to any unreasonable goals. Therefore, Councilinember McGehee opined that this should open up opportunities for environmental and sustainability components if that was part of climate change and more discussion about green steps to pursue (e.g. solar, community gardens, etc.), but reiterated the need to malce these discussion groups smaller versus a giant district that were too intimi- dating for people to weigh in. Enga eg ment Mayor Roe stated he didn't find the steering committee process used in 2008 to be the right process to repeat; and given the community's experience with engage- ment, didn't think a consultant-suggested process was needed either, In general, Mayor Roe stated his preference for a city-developed process. Councilmember Willmus agreed, and also stated he didn't want this to fall into the lap of one particular commission, but to receive input from all advisory com- missions as part of the process. Mayor Roe clarified that he thought all city commissions had a role in informing the document's content, but considered the CEC's role to define the engagement
