Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 9, 2023 Page 3 Mayor Roe thanked Mr. DeBenedet for the presentation and also the work of the committee and everyone involved. He appreciated the recommendations in the study and also wanted to acknowledge that there are not only people with mobility issues but also people with sight and hearing issues and others that the City needed to be conscious of. He noted that the City is working on the functionality of the website that works for people with hearing and visual impairments. Councilmember Groff thanked everyone involved over the years on this issue. Councilmember Schroeder indicated she was impressed with the City's Parks De- partment and Public Works Department that the park paths were plowed so well that a wheelchair could get through easily. She thought it made sense to be aware of what it takes and also good to be able to acknowledge some of things that the City is doing right. Councilmember Etten thanked the League of Women's Voters for the work on the study. b. Receive Update on City-Wide Community Visioning Process Assistant City Manager Rebecca Olson briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated January 9, 2023. Mr. Dan Edgerton, Zan Associates, provided an update on the City-Wide Commu- nity Visioning process. Councilmember Etten thanked Mr. Edgerton for all the work and stated he appre- ciated them going to all of the places the Council asked them to go. He noted Zan Associates went to the Roseville high school homecoming and had photos but did not end up in the demographics slice,the eighteen to twenty-four range or if seven- teen the individuals did not count. Mr. Edgerton explained this group counts but he did not yet tabulate the event de- mographics into this; the count for this presentation was just from the surveys. Councilmember Etten hoped the consultants continued to look for opportunities to connect with a broad slice. In looking at the demographics, it might be underrepre- senting the senior population and the City has several senior buildings where the residents would be happy to see Zan Associates. He noted many people who live there are people who have lived in the community for decades, are highly invested in Roseville, and continue to volunteer and be engaged. He thought that may be a way to get some more feedback. He would love to see this connect more with Si- enna Green, which is a fantastically run facility. He would also like to see more involvement with non-owner-occupied residences.
