Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 12, 2008 Page 19 City Manager Malinen reviewed a tentative agenda for the proposed joint meeting with the District 623 School Board, after preliminary consultation with the Board Chair and District Superintendent. The agenda included an overview of the Imag- ine Roseville 2025 process, outcomes and subsequent studies; short-term and longer-term facility needs; telecommunication needs and partnerships, based on recent adoption of the City's telecommunications policy and emphasis on inclu- sion of the School District. Discussion included whether discussions should include the entire information technology spectrum or just telecommunications (fiber); softer issues, including demographics, updated student survey information; any cracks in the community regarding supervision of children and youth, or community-wide issues needing to be addressed; the need to have substantive discussions on fewer items, rather than general discussions with no action items; potential for liaisons between the School District and City Council; lack of interest in a review of previous commu- nity center discussions without viable solutions; need to address community needs and those served by each or both bodies; community goals and objectives; and the need to also hold discussions with Mounds View School District No. 621. Further discussion included the best use of City Council and School Board meet- ing time; need for good working relationships between the bodies; areas of com- mon interest in the community; and discussions in the context of Imagine Rose- ville 2025 and School Board discussion processes. Mayor Klausing suggested that staff pursue those items identified on this agenda; and to alert the School Board to be prepared to discuss those "soft" issues identi- fied by Councilmember Pust. 14.
