Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 22, 2024 Page 13 Councilmember Strahan asked if the Council was following what was in Item 7e of the Request for Council Action packet because it differs significantly from the Envision Roseville packet. Mayor Roe indicated he requested the Envision Roseville packet be included and that was the presentation from last fall as the output of the process. The reason he wanted that included as information for this discussion, was that it actually has the aspirations and a lot of additional information to help the conversation. Councilmember Strahan recommended that economically prosperous start with the same convention that the rest of them do. "A community or city that is..." just because it is the one out of that batch that does not match. Councilmember Schroeder asked for clarification on the last aspiration. She asked if the word inclusive talking about the transportation modes or is it talking about people. Mayor Roe thought this was an all purpose inclusive and included both. Councilmember Strahan explained she would assert that in that particular line"with a safe inclusive and well-connected transportation and infrastructure system that supports..." Groff moved, Strahan seconded, to formally adopt the Community Aspirations as identified by the Envision Roseville community visioning process with amendments as discussed in this meeting and authorize next steps for receiving proposals for strategic planning. Council Discussion Councilmember Groff thought revisiting and rereading the aspirations was good, he felt good about what was in this, and he looked forward to working on more. Councilmember Strahan stated it is nice to know that all of that process seen from the beginning to the end, it is kind of concrete, and she hoped the City's next processes will give City staff and the Council an indication that the next steps are rooted in this wealth of knowledge. Councilmember Etten thought there were a lot of words in here that could go in a lot of directions. He also thought there would be a lot of directions the City could take this, and he did not disagree with any of this. Councilmember Schroeder concurred and indicated she supported the general concept of these and maybe staff should look at some wordsmithing.
