City of 1~~ Minnesota, USA Special City Council Meeting Minutes City Hall Council Chambers, 2660 Civic Center Drive Monday, October 1, 2007, 7:00 p.m. 1. Call Roll Mayor Klausing called to order a Special Meeting of the Roseville City Council at ap- proximately 7:00 p.m. and welcomed everyone. Mayor Klausing advised that the pur- pose of this special meeting was for Councilmembers to discuss Imagine Roseville 2025 Strategic Planning from an individual and corporate Councilmember perspective, and to establish short and long-term visioning and goals for the City Council and City of Rose- ville, after considering input of citizens, advisory commissions, the Housing and Rede- velopment Authority (HRA), and staff. (Voting and Seating Order for October: Ihlan; Roe; Kough; Pust; and Klausing) Mayor Klausing reviewed the background of the Imagine Roseville 2025 Goals & Strate- gies and opined that the challenge before the City Council this evening would be to nar- row down the list, and identify priorities; allowing staff to receive direction from the City Council for incorporating those Council consensus priorities to be incorporated into the budget, and to develop action plans. Councihnembers, and City Manager Malinen, discussed the preferred process for this evening's meeting; noting that several Councilmembers had expressed interest in expand- ing their priorities beyond the City Manager-recommended five (5), to allow sufficient exploration of goals as identified. Discussion included discussion at the end of tonight's discussion to determine the next step in the process; whether or not a facilitator would benefit that future discussion; and City Manager Malinen advising Councilmembers that both the City's Interim Community Development Director Mike Darrow, and Mark Koegler, of Hoisington Koegler Group, Incorporated (HKGI), the City's Consultant for the Comprehensive Plan update process had expressed interest in assisting the City Council in facilitating the process. City Man- ager Malinen advised that both Mike and Mark had experience in facilitating such exer- cises; were willing to facilitate discussions at no additional fee to the City; and advised that with the Council working with either or both of these gentlemen, it would further benefit the Comprehensive Plan Update process. Mr. Malinen advised that both Mike and Mark were available on October 29, 2007, a possible date identified by Council- members as available for further discussion. Councilmember Roe expressed interest in additional comment and thought from Mr. Dar- row and Mr. Koegler on how best to proceed at this point, based on the visioning process, and the Comprehensive Plan Update process.
