Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 26, 2007 Page 13 and other references as well. Councilmember Roe recognized the aggressive timeframe developed by the Consultant; and opined that it could be done; while finding a way for the Committee, staff, and consultant to resolve any outstanding issues; and opined that he didn't perceive those issues as large issues; and encour- aged aresult of tonight's discussion to not revise downward, but find the way forward as quickly as possible. Mayor Klausing questioned how Councilmember Roe envisioned results from a Subcommittee formation. Councilmember Roe clarified that his intent was not for creation of multiple sub- committees; but explained his rationale in attempting a parallel process outside the Committee timeframe so as not to delay the topics defined in the Consultant's schedule; and bring back, in report form to the entire Committee, their recom- mendations for incorporating components of the Imagine Roseville 2025 docu- ment in the Plan, facilitating an additional level of discussion without detracting from other discussions. Mayor Klausing opined that, in attending the Steering Committee where this was discussed, he didn't observe a consensus of support for creation of a subcommit- tee. Councilmember Roe opined that, if that was the case, the Committee would need to abide by that consensus; and further opined that, during the first portion of the December meeting, theses organizational issues be clarified and a decision made by the group. Councilmember Roe concurred with Councilmember Ihlan that the Committee should be procedurally self-governing; and that potential procedural discussions and/or conflicts should be quickly resolved so as not to detract from moving forward. Mayor Klausing questioned the need to appoint a Committee Chair, since the con- sultant was hired to serve as a facilitator. Councilmember Roe concurred; advising that this was a Steering Committee dis- cussion and ultimate decision; and opined that he was not a supporter of a Com- mittee Chair. Ms. Radel, at the request of Mayor Klausing, clarified staff's concerns. Ms. Radel noted that the Committee as a mechanism of public participation and in- formation dissemination to the rest of the community was fantastic, and repre- sented the ultimate in acommunity-planning process.
