Regular City Council Meeting Monday, April 10, 2017 Page 21 Councilmember Laliberte stated her concern in moving the focus on SE Roseville out of t he “Economic Development Strategic Initiatives” priority, opining that it had been included for a reason; While understanding the rationale in relocating it in the second inclusive priority, and even with the work underway, Councilme m- ber Laliberte stated t hat she wasn’t sure if it should be checked off the list, and therefore, suggested moving it back under the economic development priority. Under the second priority, Councilmember Laliberte stated her need for additional information on the second and fourth bullet points. Councilmember Laliberte sat- ed her agreement with the “sustainability” wording for the CIP in the second bu l- let point for that priority. Mayor Roe referenced the SE Roseville priority in the past PPP in two places rec- ognizing the efforts of the working group as well as the economic development focus. From his perspective, Mayor Roe stated that was a natural dividing point, and even though one dealt more with the inclusivity and the other with economic development issues, he supported having it in both priorities. As noted in the meeting minutes (Attachment A), Mayor Roe noted that was also addressed by Councilmember Etten during that previous discussion. Councilmember Etten agreed with the points made by Mayor Roe and Cou n- cilmember Laliberte in leaving SE Roseville in both priorities. While it may seem redundant, Councilmember Etten stated that it also recognized that the priority would be viewed from two difference lenses. Noting the good points made regarding the focus on SE Roseville, City Manager Trudgeon referenced and reviewed the categories as they were listed in the last it- eration and under two categories. Councilmember Laliberte spoke in support of retaining that placement in both categories with updated language to more clear ly understand the intent of the par- ticular focus. On the second priority, last bullet point for the LMC program in 2018, Mayor Roe suggested revising the language to: “Prepare for possible participation in the GARE program”. Also in the second priority, Mayor Roe suggested adding the word “consider” to replace “enact” for inclusive city policies and procedures. Specific to the GARE Program, Councilmember Etten stated that he had suggest- ed this in the past as a result of his attendance at an LMC conferenc e. Coun- cilmember Etten reported that this is a year-long program; and advised that he had some of the materials being used in the City of Shoreview as they also participate in the program. Councilmember Etten briefly reviewed some of those materials, including measurement tools for exacting change for operations and working with coalitions during the year to use those tools to enact changes.
