; i: f�, r ar�} w�r'� r - � � ��k��T� — TO: ROSEVILLE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS - FROM: TAMIVIY L. PUST - DATE: MARCH 19,2006 RE: COMMUNITY VISIONING PROPOSAL, V e r s i o n�� [Updates in Bal�i� — Back�,round: '1"l�e City of Roseville last completed a community-wide visioning process in — 1992. The Vista 2000 Project brought together nearly four hundred Roseville citizens organized — in six subgroups "to discuss problems, identify opportunities and formulate plans to guide Roseville into the 21 S� Century." "Creating Roseville's Tomorrow Today" was the stated theme of the project. For over 15 years, the Vista 2000 Report has guided the City in its development of its Comprehensive Plan, its Capital Improvement Plan and the policy decisions made by its elected officials. The Problem: The Vista 2000 Report is outdated. Fifteen years have passed since its adoption, and Roseville like other first-ring suburbs is now in the midst of responding to challenges only foreseen dimly in 1992 - including rapidly changing demographics, aging housing stock and ever-shrinking public resources being stretched to cover increased demands for services. In order for Roseville's elected officials to accurately reflect the will of its citizens, we need to know what the citizens think and how they want their resources spent. To know that, we need to ask them. A Proposed Solution: The Roseville City Council should engage the citizens in an organized process of community visioning. By inviting residents to participate, listening respectfully to their input, and responding to their identified needs, the �'�k�r�� i I�}'f� K be assured that it is well- advised and on track to effectively and efficiently guide the accomplishment of the City's business Update: On March 13,2006, the Council appointed three members (Pust, �l�l�n and Maschka) to work together for the purpose of refining the proposal and identifying the next action steps for the Council to consider. The work group has further refined the proposal for the Community Visioning process and seeks the following action from the Council: 1. Consideration and approval of the March 19,2006 process proposal, with direction to proceed as proposecllchanged. 2. Discussion of budget implications and direction with regard to spending cap. 3. Agreement to identify and forward to the work group the names of individuals interested in serving on the Steering Committee, for the work group's consideration and recommendation back to the Council on March j� ih 4. Discussion of possible dates for brainstorming sessions.
