Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 17, 2017 Page 13 Council's required new chapter on resiliency; with a close look intended at the city's and region's water and natural resources. At the request of Board Member Gogins, Ms. Collins advised that, as directed by the City Council, and with good, rich information remaining relevant for the most part from the 2030 plan, there would be a minimal change for the 2040 update be- yond minor tweaking. Ms. Collins opined that the goals and aspirations of the 2030 plan would remain mostly intact. Mayor Roe concurred, opining that the update was intended basically as a check- in to ensure the 2030 version was still viable. Board Chair Traynor stated his appreciation that the community continued to feel things were going well; and with recent issues suggested by the school board and city, overall feedback was that they were satisfied with how things were going. While unable to predict that this would also apply to the 2040 comprehensive plan update for the city, Chair Traynor noted that that community satisfaction level had served as affirmation for the school board. While recognizing that there remained challenges and changes ahead, Chair Traynor noted that the facility planning pro- cess was following a similar process to that used by the city. Even though periodic check-ins were good, Mayor Roe agreed, based on feedback received by the city in recent community surveys indicating that the general con- sensus was that things were going well. Councilmember McGehee opined that this was also indicated by those residents having lived in Roseville long-term and their excitement as they saw their homes turning over to their children or their children coming back to Roseville to pur- chase a home. Chair Traynor agreed, based on demographics that the school district was also aware of that organic growth entering the district, not simply due to open enroll- ment from outside Roseville, but also based on those demographic updates in Ro- seville with younger families moving into the community. Ms. Collins agreed that the intercept board comments, along with other sources, were supporting the theme that Roseville is a fantastic place and how it can be taken to the next level. While some comments have indicated that there is more need for diversity of businesses (smaller versus bigger) to meet community needs, Ms. Collins noted that the feedback so far didn't indicate that there were any huge gaps needing filling. Given the ongoing feedback that both the city and school district continued to re- ceive, Mayor Roe suggested that it could be used for promotional commercials about why Roseville remains an attractive place to live or move to.
