Ms. Bloom suggested that to address these items a goal should be added to <br /> develop on-going educational opportunities. <br /> Member DeBenedet noted that lack of public interest in the annual storm water <br /> permit meeting held at the PVVETC, concurring that it did little to educate the <br /> public, but if someone walked by a pond and saw a graphic or information, they <br /> would be inclined to stop and look at it. <br /> Chair Vanderwall noted the many acronyms used in these policies, as well as <br /> throughout the Plan, and the need to ensure that the public can understand the <br /> language and for it to be user-friendly. <br /> Ms. Bloom duly noted that comment, advising that they would review the overall <br /> Plan for acronym use and make sure they were defined clearly. <br /> Chair Vanderwall noted the need to promote stewardship through use of <br /> volunteers in that public education and outreach portion as well. <br /> Ms. Bloom suggested an additional Policy or Goal to "Promote Stewardship." <br /> Mr. Leaf noted that, while a challenge in the past, a lot of effort could come <br /> forward as people became connected. <br /> Chair Vanderwall opined that this was typical of any volunteer effort beyond an <br /> emergency situation. <br /> Chair Vanderwall suggested that various presentations or annual updates be <br /> incorporated on the City's website with a tracking of hits to determine the level of <br /> interest on specific topics. <br /> Member Felice noted the significant interest of Roseville residents in <br /> environmental issues, and suggested that the narrative include that <br /> acknowledgement. <br /> Chair Vanderwall noted the need to include coordination with area schools in the <br /> policies. <br /> Goal 5—Pollution Prevention and Maintenance (Table 11) <br /> In Policy No. 4, Member Gjerdingen noted the need to address sweeping <br /> requirements, based on City Code, for private commercial areas as well. <br /> Ms. Bloom responded that this was required by the Illicit Discharge Ordinance. <br /> Member Gjerdingen also addressed Roseville pathways and debris that could end <br /> up in the storm water system. <br /> Page 11 of 18 <br />
