Regular City Council Meeting Monday, June 9, 2008 Page 9 • Mr. Schwartz advised that he would be meeting with a representative of low bid- der tomorrow to discuss the higher-than-expected bids received, discussion of risks involved with this new technology, and determination of why the bids came in so much higher than projected. Mr. Schwartz noted that there were only two (2) firms using this technology, and even while preferable due to minimized dis- ruption to property owners, it was not feasible at this time. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff was pursuing other technologies; and opined that the cost of this pro- posed technology would be reduced as it became .more familiar in this area. Councilmember Pust thanked staff for their due diligence and their responsible recommendation. Pust moved, Ihlan seconded, a motion rejecting the bids received for Watermain Replacement Project W-08-10. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Ihlan; Pust; Roe and Klausing. Nays: None. 8.

Receive the 2009 - 2013 Strategic Plan City Manager Malinen briefly reviewed the City of Roseville 2009-2013 Strategic Plan as prepared by staff and presented at the May 19, 2008 City Council meet- ing. Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, approval of the 2009-2013 City Department Strategic Plan as presented. City Manager Malinen suggested that the City Council, after their review, set aside a substantial block of time at an upcoming meeting for further discussion, further refinement, and clarification of priorities for longer-range planning using this annual document. Councilmember Pust requested that the departments be synthesized for a more standardized process. Councilmember Pust opined that this was a good first step, and expressed appreciation to staff for their efforts; however, opined that it was still rather department-concentric now combined into an overall document, but the next phase would be to compare each department's plan internally for a strategic look, rather than along-term wish list of all departments.
