Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 25, 2010 Page 21 Finance Director Miller clarified that there was no Information Technology (IT) Department, but that it was a centralized function among all departments; with the tower rental revenue coming to that function as a temporary collection point, and distributed among all departments through purchase of computer hardware and software equipment and support. Mr. Miller further clarified that no City depart- ment was currently paying for any of that IT support from their department budget at this time. d. Discuss 2011 Budgeting-for-Outcomes Process Due to time constraints, Pust moved, Johnson seconded, tabling of this item to a future meeting. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Roe; Johnson; Ihlan; and Klausing. Nays: None. e. Discuss Agenda for Strategic Planning Session City Manager Malinen suggested using a similar format to that used in 2008 with Department Head input; development of short, medium and long-term goals con- sistent with the Imagine Roseville 2025 community visioning process; and ad- vised that all City departments were currently in the process of updating their stra- tegic plans for City Council information. Mayor Klausing spoke in support of that approach; however, suggested that a dis- cussion be included on the 2011 budget process, whether to use the Budgeting for Outcomes approach or defer to line items; and to receive input from Department Heads about their specific department challenges. Mayor Klausing also suggested that hearing from individual Councilmembers as well as staff concerning any is- sues they saw for 2010 and 2011 that hadn't been addressed as part of the Com- prehensive Plan Update. Councilmember Roe urged that the budget discussion not be held at that session in order for it not to dominate the entire planning session; expressing his prefer- ence to have a broader discussion on what the City hoped to accomplish in 2010. Mayor Klausing suggested, as a compromise, that the budget be discussed within a limited time allotment, to allow the City Council to have a sense of the budget process to be used. f. Discuss a Resolution Amending the Citizen Advisory Commission Appoint- ment and Reappointment Process Mayor Klausing noted the minor language change that he was suggested and drafted by staff related to a quorum of the City Council rather than a minimum of five (5) members, based on practical application.
