Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 24, 2011 Page 19 those items and City Council decision-making. Mr. Malinen noted that the City Council had determined that Mayor Roe would facilitate the meeting. Acting Mayor Pust expressed her opposition to the first part of the proposed process in ranking existing strategies; opining that she could not support a concept that all discussion could be reduced to measurable numbers that would mean the same thing to each Councilmember. Acting Mayor Pust suggested that past dis- cussions on Imagine Roseville 2025 initiatives needed to be refreshed representing all the work done by the community, and sifted through by City Departments to determine what was or was not doable. Councilmember McGehee concurred with Acting Mayor Pust. Councilmember McGehee advised that she came to the City Council with two (2) important is- sues: 1) the budget and how to make it more transparent for residents and the City Council; and 2) how as a community, development and redevelopment were han- dled and how future planning was handled by various departments. Council- member McGehee opined that she anticipated the Worksession format to be simi- lar to those of the past allowing the City Council to discuss ideas and priorities and basic functions of the City, including discussing fresh ideas and opportunities, and allowing the public to respond at a later date. Councilmember Willmus concurred in part; while supporting establishing priori- ties and using them as a guideline, he expressed concern in weighting some things in a vacuum. Acting Mayor Pust suggested to City Manager Malinen that the proposed order for the meeting be revised to discuss the Imagine Roseville 2025 ranking and how to use it. City Manage Malinen advised that he would prepare the January 31, 2011 agenda from Attachment B; and asked that Councilmembers come to the meeting pre- pared with their five (5) initiatives and suggestions for each department. Acting Mayor Pust asked that staff make sure to make that known to those miss- ing Councilmembers. 14. City Manager Future Agenda Review City Manager Malinen reviewed upcoming agenda items. 15.
