recovery efforts were already underway. The initial damage assessment was discussed as well as <br />the prediction of the possible additional severe weather that could affect the ciry and its residents. <br />The discussion revealed the fact that the city had suffered a significant blow and there <br />were significant expenditures that would be incurred in order to help clean up the city after the <br />storm. The estimation was that there could be in excess of $500,000 in costs to the city. At 1109, <br />a meeting of the city council was called to order and declarations were made to assist in the <br />recovery efforts that were planned. <br />Emergency Management <br />Battalion Chief and Emergency Manager Greg Peterson made contact with Ramsey <br />County Emergency Manager Judd Freed to let him know what the City of Roseville had endured <br />and that a state of emergency had been declared so that additional funds could be used for <br />recovery from the damage. Mr. Freed stated that he had not yet heard from any other cities <br />within Ramsey County; however he would have his staff check with the other cities to better <br />gauge the magnitude of the damage to county. <br />Incident Recovery <br />The Public Works and Parks departments bore the bulk of the recovery efforts. Most of <br />the work that was done was a result of the extensive number of trees that were down and the <br />damage that they caused. Roads were cleared in a timely fashion so that emergency vehicles, <br />home owners and contractors could make their way throughout the ciry to recover and restore <br />what they could. <br />Public Works worked with other local officials to plan and prepare for a debris site. This <br />was set up at the Ramsey Counry site off of Kent St. and Larpenteur. The storm debris was <br />hauled to, and then processed by, contractors at this site. It was later hauled away to its final <br />destination. <br />The Run and Roll for the Roses was scheduled for Saturday, the day after the storm hit. It <br />had to be cancelled due to the dangerous conditions that existed in the parks. There were simply <br />too many trees and power lines down to ensure the participants' safety. <br />Due to the widespread destruction, the parks department spent months cleaning up the <br />storm damage. This included the removal of trees, branches and stumps that posed a hazard to <br />the visitors of the parks. They coordinated with the Public Works department to haul the debris <br />to the dump site. This process worked well and made for efficient overall operations. <br />
