34 The next step in ensuring the Community Aspirations are embedded as priorities for all the 35 City's work is to undertake a strategic planning process to create a strategic plan that links 36 the Community Aspirations and the Strategic Racial Equity Action Plan (SREAP) to the City 37 Departmental work plans. 38 39 Staff would like to discuss the next steps regarding selecting a consultant to assist the City 40 in its strategic planning. The Department Head Team discussed how to approach selecting 41 a consultant for the strategic planning work. From the discussion, it was suggested that the 42 best approach would be to reach out to individual strategic planning consultants for 43 individual meetings to discuss the scope of work with them. The individual meeting would 44 provide the consultant with an opportunity to hear a more in-depth explanation of the 45 proposed scope of work and ask questions. The purpose of holding these meetings would 46 be to receive more tailored and responsive proposals. Requests for Proposals tend to work 47 best when specifics are outlined in detail (such as in bids for construction projects, etc.) 48 There are more variables when seeking professional services, such as how to facilitate a 49 strategic planning process. Based on the conversation and understanding of the scope, 50 consultants would then submit a proposal for the strategic planning work. Staff suggests 51 that one Councilmember participate in the individual meetings with consultants to provide 52 the City Council perspective on the strategic plan. 53 54 Regarding the scope of the work and desired outcomes from the strategic planning 55 process, staff proposes the following: 56 57 The City of Roseville recently completed a comprehensive community visioning process 58 aimed at gathering input from residents, businesses, and stakeholders to identify priorities, 59 values, and aspirations for the future of our city. The insights gathered from this process 60 have laid a solid foundation for the next step, which is the development of a 3-5 year 61 strategic plan. 62 The strategic plan will be the primary vision-setting and policy-directing strategy to lead the 63 ongoing evolution of Roseville for the next 3–5 years. As the city’s resident population 64 grows more diverse, the City has also created a strategic racial equity action plan (SREAP) 65 which can be found here. The City is seeking a strategic plan which includes measurable 66 objectives that align with the City’s inclusion and respect statement and encompass all City 67 functions. 68 69 The selected consultant will be responsible for facilitating a strategic planning process that 70 engages City Council members and city staff in a collaborative effort to: 71 1. Review and analyze the findings from the community visioning process. 72 2. Identify key strategic priorities and goals based on the community's vision and 73 values. 74 3. Conduct a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis to 75 assess the city's current position and future opportunities. 76 4. Develop actionable strategies and initiatives to achieve the identified goals. 77 5. Facilitate consensus-building among stakeholders and ensure buy-in for the 78 strategic plan. 79 6. Draft a comprehensive strategic plan document outlining the vision, goals, 80 strategies, action plans, and performance measures. Page 2 of 4 Qbhf!235!pg!33:
