As part of the discussion, the City <br />4 Council discussed the role of public input in process and the purpose of the PPP document.

(Attachment A). <br />7 <br />8 After the January 4 meeting, the Department Head team discussed the role of the Community <br />9 Aspirations adopted by the City Council, the PPP, and the staff created OrganizationalPriorities that are <br />10 used as part of the City Manager’s budgeting process. As a group, the Department Heads felt all three <br />11 aspects (Community Aspirations, the PPP, and Organizational Priorities) were somewhat disconnected <br />12 as currently utilized. It was felt that the City Council should have additional conversation regarding the <br />13 roles of each of the documents in the goals and priorities so as to better align the city’s work and <br />14 resources towards those outcomes. <br />15 <br />16 Below is a brief discussion of each of the documents to provide some background and context to the <br />17 Council on how they were created and are used by the City. <br />18 <br />19 Community Aspirations On April 9, 2012, the City Council adopted the current Mission Statement <br />20 and Community Aspirations. The Community Aspirations were based on the aspirations identified as <br />21 part of the Imagine Roseville 2025 communitywide visioning process that took place in 2006. The <br />22 Community Aspirations are as follows: <br />23 <br />24 As a community, we aspire to be: <br />25 Welcoming, inclusive, and respectful; <br />26 Safe and law-abiding; <br />27 Economically prosperous, with a stable and broad tax base; <br />28 Secure in our diverse and quality housing and neighborhoods; <br />29 Environmentally responsible, with well-maintainednatural assets; <br />30 Physically and mentally active and healthy; <br />Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br />
