Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 13,2011 Page 21 Mayor Roe suggested that a more applicable bullet point may be "Continue to in- tegrate performance measurement into the budget process." Councilmember Pust spoke in support of that concept; noting that the City Coun- cil had talked about the budget process for years and there was still a certain level of"we're not there yet." Councilmember Pust opined that the goal needed to be spelled out with the intent that "we're getting there," or removed from the list completely. As part of that goal, and all of them for that matter, Councilmember Willmus re- quested more frequent reports from the City Manager to the City Council, similar to the quarterly staff reports. Mayor Roe concurred, opining that it made sense to receive reports more fre- quently, similar to the quarterly reports from staff on the Imagine Roseville 2025 document.

In referring to those written comments, Mayor Roe noted Councilmember McGehee's agree- ment with those items listed; but her concern that the list was hard to manage, and her preference for a report. Councilmember McGehee opined that the City was facing some big issues, and she was not pleased with the way items were reported to the City Council in the City's government structure.

Overall, Coun- cilmember Willmus noted that some of those items listed by City Manager Mali- nen were obvious, while others have only been touched upon. Regarding quarter- ly reporting listed under long-range planning, Councilmember Willmus suggested that it be done for all categories, eliminating any obvious overlaps. Councilmember Johnson opined that there were some things he could see needing more frequent reporting; however, items such as "relationship with the City Council;" "fiscal management;" and other items were dealt with at every City Council meeting. Regarding the City Council/City Manager relationship, and/or Public Relations/Intergovernmental Relations, Councilmember Johnson opined that it didn't warrant a quarterly or semi-annual report, but it was important to
