those projects lacked the knowledge of these runoff concerns, or they lacked initiative to comply with efforts to manage storm water. Member Stenlund questioned if there shouldn't be recourse for projects falling under the 10,000 square feet of land disturbance threshold, or consideration done on a case by case basis depending on the topography of the land as one issue. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff could revisit the issue and whether a permit was required by City Code or not, there could be other ways to address those individual areas of concern. Ms. Bloom advised that staff often addressed concerns or issues, outside the regular parameters of City Code (e.g. Cleveland Avenue) when illicit discharges were observed; with staff able to use other sections of City Code to address those situations. However, Ms. Bloom concurred that additional outreach to and education of citizens was always prudent. Mr. Schwartz advised that staff had already held discussions with the Parks and Recreation Commission on storm water management and potential BMP education and outreach efforts, incorporated through the Parks Master Plan and coordination with the Harriet Alexander Nature Center (HANC), consistent with tonight's discussion. As previously noted, no one from the public was present to provide comment on this program. 6. Storm Water Management Plan Updated Discussion Ron Leaf, Sr. Water Resources Engineer and Rebecca Nestingen, PE, Water Resources Engineer with S.E.H., consultants with the City for updating its Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSWMP) were available for a brief presentation and to lead initial discussions with the PWETC. Staff noted that S.E.H. had drafted the original CSWMP and would be overseeing this update as well, given their familiarity with the City. Staff noted that the CWSMP was originally developed in 1990, and last updated in 2002; and required for update to maintain consistency with local watershed standards and the Metropolitan Surface Water Management Act (MSWMA). Staff noted that the City's overall Comprehensive Plan established the City's vision and BMP's for managing storm water and surface water drainage throughout the City. Staff noted that the primary goals of tonight's meeting was to provide an overview on the update process and schedule; and to receive input from the PWETC and the public related to managing water and natural resource areas within the City of Roseville.
