Agenda/Key Topics for Discussssion Agenda Chair Gogins welcomed everyone and introductions were made of the respective bodies. Chair Gogins noted that City Manager Malinen, Dr. Thein, Mayor Roe and she had met earlier to de- velop tonight's discussion points and potential areas of new collaborative efforts and partner- ships. Dr. Thein referenced information provided by the City and School District 623 outlining cur- rent collaborative efforts among the City and School District 623, including activities, events, pathways, and facilities. Dr. Thein encouraged an open dialogue on potential new ideas to col- laborate; and reviewed some of the areas of support by City departments and staff. In her review of documents in preparation for tonight's meeting, Chair Gogins noted how fa- vorably impressed she was with the list of collaborative efforts to-date. Chair Gogins opined that this was a great encouragement to her of the collaborative efforts of the School and City Administration Departments; and expressed her interest in expanding other areas of partner- ship. Chair Gogins specifically noted the strong comparisons between the School Board's and City's strategic plans; and how they both advanced the Imagine Roseville 2025 community vi- sioning process. One repeated area of comment addressed by Dr. Thein was the public's concern in why the City didn't plow the various school facility parking lots. Dr. Thein noted that, while this had been considered in the past, with the other City snowplowing priorities for emergency and overall community access, it just wasn't feasible. However, Dr. Thein noted that the City and School District staff did share partnerships with other ground work (e.g. mowing); as well as partnering in youth activity programs (e.g. facilities, fields, and programming needs). Dr. The- in noted that the City provided great assistance and modeling through the City's Public Works Department with asphalt improvement projects, as well as in liaison programs with the City's Fire and Police Departments for support and security needs of the School District.
