Regular Planning Commission Meeting Minutes – Wednesday, July 13, 2016 Page 2 Ms. Collins noted the City Council’s unanimous guidance to staff at that meeting, and 50 with a revised timeline, was a balance of the three options presented; with the City 51 Council choosing Option B for the SCOPE of the update consisting of a technical and 52 content update; and Option A for the ENGAGEMENT strategy consisting of development 53 of that strategy with the chosen consultant, staff and various advisory commissions. Ms. 54 Collins noted the City Council’s intent was to involve all community stakeholders in the 55 process, with the chosen consultant providing ideas about that engagement. 56 Chair Boguszewski expressed concern that there appeared to be a potential for 57 misalignment of efforts with one consultant handling one or more chapters, while other 58 chapters would be under the purview of other outside consultants. Chair Boguszewski 59 questioned how this could be effectively coordinated. Chair Boguszewski asked staff to 60 reflect the Commission’s concerns and cautions with the City Council asking them for 61 additional consideration to avoid this update being led in other directions, with many of 62 the sections or strategies subjective, which could prove time-consuming and costly 63 unless more specifically defined. 64 Ms. Collins noted those concerns had been well documented from past Commission 65 deliberations from a previous meeting of the Commission. 66 Member Daire noted his expressed concerns at that past meeting as to the process and 67 intent in separating areas without deliberate coordination (e.g. Parks & Recreation, Public 68 Works, Environment, Transportation and Utilities chapters). Member Daire asked that 69 staff articulate the plan for keeping the update cohesive for the next Planning 70 Commission meeting. 71 At the request of Chair Boguszewski, City Planner Thomas Paschke clarified that the 72 RFP recipients had yet to be identified, but noted there were a number of consultants 73 specializing in this field. Mr. Paschke noted the number of and geographical location from 74 which to choose that field of consultants remained pending with the City Council’s next 75 discussion on how broad or narrow that search would be. 76 Member Bull suggested the field provide consultants with outreach into other geographic 77 areas rather than just locally (e.g. regionally, state- and nation-wide), to guide the City’s 78 planning toward other areas for trends beyond the City of Roseville. 79 Chair Boguszewski noted reference in the slide presentation to “additional best practices” 80 for consultants to address. 81 Ms. Collins duly noted these requests. 82 Drop Homes 83 In follow-up to the “drop homes” discussion held at that joint meeting, Ms. Collins 84 reported that staff would bring information forward at the August 2016 Planning 85 Commission meeting. 86 As noted by the City Council/Economic Development Authority at one of their meetings, 87 Member Murphy noted they had articulated on Medium and High Density Residential 88 Housing. Member Murphy asked staff to provide copies of the materials and reports from 89 that meeting to the Commission via email for their information and review. 90 4.
