Regular City Council Meeting Monday,July 10, 2017 Page 20 Ayes: Willmus, Etten, McGehee, Laliberte and Roe. Nays: None. i. Review 2017-2018 Policy Priority Planning Document As detailed in the RCA, City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this latest itera- tion (Attachment C) of the Policy Priority Planning (PPP) document for the City Council's consideration for adoption. Mr. Trudgeon noted the draft continued prior formatting and past input; and covered 2017 - 2018. Councilmember Etten expressed appreciation for the more realistic two-year ap- proach for this document. In the "Inclusive" priority, Councilmember Etten asked if participation in the Government Alliance on Race and Equity Program (GARE) should instead say "including GARE" since there may be other policies in addition to that. While not opposing such a language change, City Manager Trudgeon noted that GARE provided a framework to look through, thus the proposed language to re- view and consider inclusive city policies and procedures "through" possible par- ticipation in GARE.

Councilmember Laliberte also noted the current work of the newly-created Imag- ine Roseville community efforts; and while not a commission and under the aus- pices of the City Council, noted that it was a planning committee even though those involved had not been clearly and publicly identified. Councilmember Laliberte suggested more transparency identifying those involved, when and where they meet, and how decision-making was done, as well as topics to be dis- cussed as they went forward without involving the City Council. Councilmember Laliberte admitted that she continued to struggle with that group's process and of- ficial status. Mayor Roe suggested referring both processes through the Human Rights, Inclu- sion and Engagement Commission (HRIEC). Mayor Roe clarified that initially
