Ms. Bloom noted that Table 12, Policy#5 also addressed this; and would further enhance this effort for water quality and landscaping efforts. Ms. Nestingen noted that Policy#5 in Table 12 also addressed multi-use green space as noted by Member Stenlund for dual use areas. Section 5 Issues Assessment (page 27) In Section 5.1, Mr. Leaf suggested additional pictures to show past examples; with Member Stenlund offering examples of before/after pictures from the South Owasso Boulevard project that he had monitored. In Section 5.2, Member Stenlund noted the ongoing issues, such as unfunded pond clean out and what to dredge. Member Stenlund advised that there could potentially be millions of dollars in liability depending on out the sludge is classified. Mr. Leaf noted that Section 5.2.3 discussed this, and since it was so significant, suggested that it be modified to further highlight that potential. Member DeBenedet suggested that something more descriptive be used about the cost difference. Mr. Leaf suggested obtaining information from the City of White Bear Lake as an example of the potential cost. Member DeBenedet suggested that Mr. Leaf contact Mike Thompson at the City of Maplewood for their detailed study he completed as part of his Capstone Proj ect. Member Stenlund suggested including examples of problem areas as well. In Section 5.2.4 Education and Outreach, Chair Vanderwall suggested a different title, since other agencies could also be involved, and to emphasize collaboration to imply that people need to work together. Member Stenlund reiterated his idea for partnering with watershed districts, and getting the High School curriculum involved in these efforts as well. Section 6 Implementation Program and Funding (page 29) Chair Vanderwall noted the need for table column headers to be reformatted. In response to Member Gjerdingen's question on Table 14, Policy#8 regarding the Rosedale Mall area, Ms. Bloom clarified that this would need to be explored with the Rice Creek Watershed District for a project similar to that built at the Maplewood Mall. Ms. Bloom noted that this would be a future collaborative effort. Page 13 of 15
