Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February O8, 2010 Page 29 Councilmember Pust suggested, if staff wants to pursue the process that they re- port to the City Council in April. City Manager Malinen expressed appreciation to the City Council for their pa- tience with the process to-date, and noted the number of areas identified for im- provement; and accepted that as staff s mission. City Manager Malinen opined that the BFO process was more illuminating that mere line items; and assured Councilmembers that staff would work to make the process even better in future budget cycles; and advised that staff was already working on getting the informa- tion to the City Council earlier. c. Discuss Strategic Planning Meeting City Manager Malinen distributed a synopsis that he had prepared for Council in- formation from previous brainstorming processes as it related to the upcoming Strategic Planning meeting scheduled for Saturday, February 13, 2010 in the Fire- side Room at the Roseville Skating Center. d. Discuss Commercial Use of Pu61ic Property Councilmember Ihlan asked that this item be tabled to a near future Council agenda in order to accommodate her preference to move this item along as soon as possible. Klausing moved, Pust seconded to extend the meeting to 10:30 p.m. Councilmember Roe sought clarification on those items of atime-sensitive nature that couldn't be deferred to a future meeting; and opined that a proposed fifteen minute discussion on the Recycling Contract would not do it justice. Councilmember Ihlan expressed her preference that the meeting be extended only with specific items identified for discussion, not left open-ended, with other items deferred to a future meeting. Councilmember Pust momentarily left the bench during this discussion.
