www.cityofroseville.com/projects, and as detailed in the staff report dated May 22, 2012. 5. Annual NPDES Storm Water Meeting In accordance with the NPDES Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program under the NPDES Phase II program for an annual report at a public meeting, Public Works Fleet Facility Supervisor and MS4 representative for the City of Roseville Mr. Pat Dolan provided a summary on efforts of the City in managing storm water discharge into public waters. This Report(Attachment B) was entitled the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and was dated May 22, 2012. Mr. Dolan noted that the overall program goal was to reduce the amount of sediment and pollutants entering surface water from storm sewer systems. Mr. Dolan provided a bench handout summarizing those efforts, attached hereto and made apart hereof. The City's prevention program included six (6) measures: public education and outreach, public participation and involvement; illicit discharge detection and elimination, construction site storm water runoff control, post-construction storm water management, and pollution prevention and good housekeeping. Each of those measures was reviewed and City efforts outlined by Mr. Dolan and City Engineer Bloom. While there were no members of the public in the audience, the meeting was telecast. Discussion among Members and staff included observations of Xcel Energy projects left open or without construction site runoff controls, with staff advising that some of those projects were governed by Ramsey County, and with encouragement from the City of Roseville, the County's efforts for enforcement and future requirements have been increased and are improving (e.g. rights-of- way permits now being required by Ramsey County for projects). Additional discussion included MPCA meetings on permit updates with the deadline extended to the end of June based on the State Government shut-down and related delays; determining ownership and maintenance requirements for "outfalls;" pending rewrite of the City's storm water and shoreline ordinances as staff time becomes available; and coordinating with the City of Maplewood Engineer for staff time to tackle some pending projects, under the terms of the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the two cities. Member DeBenedet spoke in support of the JPA engineering services, noting that he had reviewed the City of Maplewood's ordinance, recently revised, and his observations that it was much more comprehensive and easier for applicants to understand and for staff to enforce. Ms. Bloom advised that staff had been discussing, as part of the City's Comprehensive Storm Water Plan, a flyer detailing storm water standards for the City to have available for developers.
