Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 16, 2012 Page 16 about, particularly addressing pedestrian and safety issues; and from a funding perspective, this process would need to be followed. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Schwartz advised that the PWET Commission had yet to discuss funding mechanisms in any great detail, focusing more on the Chapter 429 process instead. Mayor Roe noted that the PWET Commission was currently reviewing the City's Assessment Policy more broadly. Councilmember Willmus asked that the TMP be part of that discussion as well; along with ongoing maintenance and models employed by other communities immediately adjacent to Roseville. Mayor Roe concurred, and asked that staff consult with the Cities of Blaine and Edina on their experience upon implementing the TMP; opining that this may inform the City of Roseville how to react to this and its potential implementa- tion. Councilmember McGehee recognized the ongoing work and recommendations coming forward to the City Council from the PWET Commission, and thanked them for their work on behalf of the City and prompting good discussions at the City Council level. Mayor Roe concurred, noting that all of the City Council's advisory commis- sions provided good product. d. Discuss Uniform Commission Code City Manager Malinen briefly summarized the proposed ordinance drafted by staff and detailed in the RCA dated April 16, 2012, establishing common themes and structures for advisory commissions. Mr. Malinen suggested adopt- ing this uniform code for general guidance for each commission. Councilmember McGehee opined that she was not excited about how this rec- ommendation was presented for a variety of reasons, and questioned what initi- ated this work, since it obviously had a financial impact based on staff time and effort, even if not defined; and questioned what the initial problem was that staff was attempting to fix. City Manager Malinen advised that initially, the inconsistencies had been un- covered as the Human Rights Commission (HRC) considered changing their meeting nights; and unilateral decisions were considered about whom was re- sponsible for such decisions, the advisory commissions or the City Council; with no consistent guidance found by staff to this simple question.
