Regular City Council Meeting Monday, August 22, 2016 Page 21 Councilmember Etten expressed concern about the "I Am Roseville" versus "WE Are Roseville" component encouraging community discussion versus competi- tion. However, Councilmember stated he loved the concept of "WE Are Rose- ville." As the CEC moves forward in detailing logistics, costs and labor needed, especially labor to connect with businesses outside city locations, and the fair amount of work involved in framing and preparing the pictures, Councilmember Etten opined it would be interesting to see how it all worked out. Councilmember Etten suggested it may serve as a connecting point for businesses in the communi- ty highlighting their operations by hosting "WE Are Roseville" photos and pro- moting that through the city's electronic media or other methods to draw people into those businesses. If that happened, Councilmember Etten opined they may be willing to host the photos, like a"find the photos in Roseville" endeavor. Councilmember McGehee admitted she was less excited about this idea, but agreed with Councilmember Etten that she preferred the "WE Are Roseville" identity. Councilmember McGehee noted examples of residents shown participat- ing together (e.g. Report from Lake McCarrons/Advocates for Human Rights), but from her perspective, opined that "I Am Roseville" was too over the top for her. By focusing on the "WE Are Roseville" idea, Councilmember McGehee opined it showed more about the community versus individuals in the community and what people are doing and how they were helping each other. Mayor Roe noted the considerable work done by the Roseville Visitors Associa- tion (RVA) with community photography, and suggested the RVA would be an excellent partner for the CEC in this project. However, Mayor Roe stated he wasn't sure he wanted the CEC to do this as a project, but if they as individuals could facilitate the RVA and perhaps local businesses (e.g. craft stores providing photo framing for display), that would be more the role he envisioned. Mayor Roe expressed concern with the CEC taking it on as a project, especially his lack of support in the CEC soliciting sponsorships, opining he would see that as a con- flict with their advisory role to the City Council. If there was a way the CEC could suggest the project be made to work separate from the commission itself, Mayor Roe offered his support of the concept itself. Open House/Townhall Meetin� for Communitv Enga eg ment Councilmember Willmus stated he was intrigued by the townhall meeting con- cept. Councilmember Willmus stated that if the city pursued this idea, whether at a park building or other location, logistically it be broadcast and taped for later viewing, as he expects whenever the City Council meets as a body. Councilmember McGehee concurred, noting the number of residents who view city meetings on television. Councilmember McGehee also noted the need to en- sure any location was ADA compliant for those wishing to attend.
