Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 22, 2017 Page 6 Ayes: Laliberte, McGehee, Willmus and Roe. Nays: Etten. Motion carried City Attorney Gaughan advised that he would work with staff on the memoriali- zation of these findings and provide written notice to all parties. Chair Roe reconvened the remaining business under the role of the City Council. b. Report on the Status of the Comprehensive Plan Update Process (PROD-0037 Senior Planner Lloyd reintroduced consultant Erin Purdu to provide an update on the process to-date. Ms. Purdu recognized the efforts of her colleague Lydia Major in attending most of the community engagement efforts to-date. Ms. Purdu provided a brief presen- tation, referencing the materials provided as attachments to the RCA, resulting in themes already being identified from many different areas and groups. Mr. Lloyd advised that three "meetings in a box" kits were immediately available for anyone interested in hosting such an event, along with instructions for doing SO. Mayor Roe noted the ease of using the kits by neighborhood groups, local busi- nesses or community organizations, and encouraged those interested to investigate their use. Ms. Purdu reviewed upcoming community engagement opportunities yet to come. Councilmember Etten expressed his appreciation that the consultants were doing an overall fantastic job in reaching people in different areas and through different ways; and referenced the value of the "meetings in a box" done with the Parks Master Plan process. However, Councilmember Etten noted that Parks & Recrea- tion Director Brokke had gone to various groups to initiate those efforts, and sug- gested staff or the consultant may need to invite themselves to various groups to perform that option as well. Councilmember Etten suggested the need to be inten- tional to go to people rather than hoping they'd find the process on their own; and suggested those groups be contacted to reserve a %2 hour slot on a future agenda to do so. Also, as the SE Roseville connections are made, Councilmember Etten suggested that KOM interpreters or Police Department staff be used to assist in those efforts during the upcoming walk-arounds. Ms. Purdu confirmed that they, as consultants, had talked to staff about having translator services available.
