City Council Work Session Meeting Monday, April 16, 2018 Page 6 Councilmember Laliberte suggested that if there is a recommendation for a differ- ent tool and different method, there is still time to have a discussion about it. Mayor Roe noted there was a series of community Town Hall meetings about the budget in the mid-2000s which did not garner a tremendous attendance, despite how enticing the topic is. Councilmember Willmus suggested there might be a better way to utilize that $3,300 in printing costs. City Manager Trudgeon noted the next time the Council will talk about anything budget-related is June 18th, so some of these details will need to be wrapped up by that time. Councilmember Laliberte asked about the cash-carry forward situation. City Manager noted the audit presentation will be at the first Council meeting in June. Mayor Roe suggested the cash-carry forward topic can be included in that same meeting. Councilmember Willmus commented that the Council talk in terms of what the tax change is over the preceding year. It is important to have that conversation about increase or decrease over the prior year. There are a number of taxpayers in Roseville who do not own a home, so they need to receive accurate information as well. Mayor Roe suggested the staff include graphics rather than just tables. Councilmember McGehee also expressed support for the graphics. b. Discussion on the 2019 Budget Organizational Priorities City Manager Trudgeon briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachment dated April 16, 2018.

The priorities for 2019 were then grouped into five categories: • Enhance Service Delivery • Prioritize Human Capital • Invest in Infrastructure • Ensure Safe and Secure People and Places • Community Revitalization
