Regular City Council Meeting Monday,May 22, 2017 Page 7 At the other end of the spectrum, Councilmember McGehee stated that since this was supposed to be a technical update, and with the 2014 and 2016 community surveys being revalidated by these initial engagement opportunities, the results were coming across almost identical to the 2030 comprehensive plan update. Councilmember McGehee stated that she didn't see any different goals being put forward other than the connectivity that everyone was aware had moved up in priority. Councilmember McGehee stated that she had a problem with statistics with demographics provided through Survey Monkey, opining that the results were completely skewed. Also, Councilmember McGehee opined that the inter- cept boards had been placed more for people coming into the city for a function, but not serving the interests of Roseville residents and businesses well; and in- cluding a lack of input yes from the senior citizen demographic. With thirteen geographic districts to consider, and as part of Phase II, Coun- cilmember McGehee expressed her interest in alerting that demographic to what the comprehensive plan involves and how it impacts them, particularly fundamen- tal zoning impacts within a geographic area beforehand rather than after-the fact. Councilmember McGehee opined that concerted meetings for those neighbor- hoods that may be seeing such a future land use change should be held in the near future to receive their feedback and realize potential impacts to them and their properties. Begetting those people involved now rather than when a zoning or land use change is finalized, Councilmember McGehee opined that it would allow their input as part of the decision-making process. Councilmember McGehee questioned what was involved in the "other" category in the numerous bar graphs; with Ms. Purdu reviewing that category from the online survey, and distilled information available, offering to provide it at this time rather than later in the process. Councilmember Laliberte stated that her impression of the work to-date was great; and also stated her interest in receiving the more detailed "other" categories and comments at this time. While recognizing that this comprehensive plan up- date is Roseville-specific, Councilmember Laliberte noted that it was not unique to Roseville and planning efforts included the city and others using the communi- ty, with their advice and perceptions also a necessary part of the picture. Howev- er, Councilmember Laliberte questioned how the consultants were able to parse out that information — whether from Roseville residents and/or businesses, and that of a broader focus (e.g. ECFE families, and Future Cities students). Coun- cilmember Laliberte also questioned the closing date for the online survey. Specific to the online survey, Ms. Purdu responded that the online survey was still open but the number of responses had plateaued, suggesting that it may be taken down soon. Councilmember Laliberte proposed that the online survey be left up, but perhaps remind people of its existence.
