DRAFT Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 04, 2010 Page 10 Councilmember Pust noted that she was elected as the President of the Roseville Community Foundation this year by that body, anon-profit board, and not as an appointee of the City Council. Mayor Klausing noted other similar situations, such as the Armory Citizen's Committee, and those other boards identifying individual City Councilmember participatory and leadership roles within the community. Councilmember Roe suggested that, in the future, this listing provided by staff identify those differing designations, whether a City Council appointment or other. Further discussion included elimination of the Nature Center Task Force and Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, and including the Parks Master Plan Team on the revised list. City Manager Malinen was tasked with clarifying with Community Development Director Patrick Trudgeon whether a citizen advisory group and Councilmember liaison was to be appointed as part of the recodification of the City's zoning code, or if this was just an internal process at this time. No formal action was taken. By consensus, all current Council liaisons continue in effect. c. Discuss City Council Strategic Planning City Manager Malinen noted that the City, as past practice, had scheduled an an- nual strategic planning session for the City's management staff and Councilmem- bers to establish annual goals; recommended such a meeting in 2010; and sought City Council direction as to doing so in 2010. Councilmembers concurred that this was a valuable process. Councilmember Roe observed that the 2009 meeting was mostly spent on budget adjustments due to budget unallotments at the State level; and did not serve as a genuine strategic planning session. Councilmember Johnson noted that this year's meeting would allow initiation of the recently-adopted BFO process in the planning process. Further discussion included timing of such a meeting, with preference expressed by City Manager Malinen for a Saturday morning to allow focused discussions away from normal business routines, and in a more informal session as last year's meeting held in the Fireside Room at the Skating Center.
