Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 10, 2023 Page 2 Roll Call Ayes: Groff, Strahan, Etten, Schroeder, and Roe. Nays: None. 7. Business Items a. 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 April 10, 2023. Ms. Olson introduced Ms. Brigitte Bjorklund, Zan Associates who provided an up- date. Mayor Roe thanked Ms. Bjorklund for the update and indicated the Council appre- ciated all the information. Councilmember Strahan indicated she was curious about Ms. Bjorklund mention- ing schools multiple times and because the City is separate from the Roseville Schools. Mr. Bjorklund explained she did not think the schools can be totally separated with the community because they work hand in hand, but the City will be able to offer what staff finds out and shares those with the school district and then those things that the community can do something about would be blended in as well. A lot of it has to do with inclusivity, providing different opportunities for accessibility, those kinds of things that have come up. She indicated this will need to be looked at and narrowed down to separate the things the schools can do something about and things that the Council can do something about. Ms. Olson explained in Phase Two, staff will dig deeper, ask them what the out- comes will look like, and that is when they will focus the conversation on what the City can do versus what other agencies or entities can do. Councilmember Strahan thought the City was unique in that it is a separate entity from the schools, and she wanted to make sure their focus stays within the areas that Ms. Olson has mentioned and things that the Council can act on because it is nice information. But if the School District was not part of setting up the infor- mation, it is information that may not be something that the School District can actively use. She wanted to make sure the City is utilizing the City's resources to focus on the community. She noted there are multiple School Districts in the area and private schools and homeschoolers, so she wants to make sure this is focusing on the City of Roseville as much as possible,not go outside of that scope too much, or focus on other agencies. She thought that was the City Council's goal in arrang- ing this.
