Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 23,2017 Page 16 Ms. Major stated her wholehearted agreement that this should be done as the pro- cess progressed, and noted the intent of allowing flexibility moving forward in order to make this exercise successful. As an example, Councilmember McGehee noted that the northwest area of Rose- ville had numerous issues with single-family homes turning into rentals, suggest- ing there may be other unique issues in certain pockets of the community. Mr. Lloyd suggested that the City Council identify some of those areas they felt were best suited for a walkabout; with Mayor Roe agreeing to do so as a follow- up to this meeting, directing those comments to staff so as not to miss something if done tonight at the dais. Without objection, council members agreed to provide their thoughts to staff. ECFE Sessions Ms. Major advised that their team had found these sessions useful in the past to engage parents and children about Roseville issues and opportunities, and here their experiences. Councilmember Etten expressed his appreciation for the team working with ECFE staff to gain this interaction and a different perspective from those younger fami- lies not typically or otherwise interacting in the process. However, Councilmem- ber Etten cautioned that the perspective would vary depending on the days cho- sen, with two sites in Roseville, and several operating at the Fairview Community Center. "Future City" Sessions Ms. Major advised that this idea for involving middle school students had been brought forward by the Planning Commission. i On-line Surveys (visioning and directions) Ms. Major advised that these surveys were intended to parallel the first introduc- tory meeting, and had proven cost-effective ways to supplement other in-person opportunities. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Ms. Major advised that at this point they had not planned for paper versions of the surveys available from City Hall, but as collating that information may prove extremely labor-intensive, and based on their past experience, hadn't provided for reaching a much wider audience. However, if this is an area of concern, Ms. Major advised that the team could re- consider it, but anticipated that using the role of intercepts and meetings-in-a-box would reach that same audience, and actually may overlap unnecessarily.
