"NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Roseville, Public Works, Environment, and Transportation Commission hereby recommends to the Roseville City Council to [begin the state - mandated process to implement] organized solid waste collection in the City of Roseville with the consideration of the following goals:..." Chair Vanderwall opined that he liked the idea that the first goal was economic. Chair Vanderwall advised that he anticipated once the City Council received this resolution of recommendation they would return the issue to the PWETC to start the process as a commission, whether that included Public Hearings at the PWETC level or if those would be held at the City Council level. Chair Vanderwall opined that his perspective was that the PWETC should serve as the body for public comment via Public Hearings. Member DeBenedet, referencing Goal #5 (page 2) suggested the need for caution related with statements about safety unless there was reliable evidence to support that statement. Member DeBenedet opined that, while the number of trucks on a road affecting safety may not have justifiable data to support it, obviously the more vehicles on a road, the more accidents occurring. Chair Vanderwall, from his perspective with bus transportation and 1500 — 2000 bus stops in Roseville, advised that he frequently fielded questions from parents expressing concern with trucks going too fast on city streets; and other relevant pieces to this beyond trucks using city streets. On a related note, Chair Vanderwall noted that there are currently 3,600 kids in summer school in Roseville, making it a year -round issue, not just during the regular school year. Member DeBenedet clarified that he was not asking that Goal #5 be struck at this point just cautioned the need for more research or specific evidence. Member Felice opined that, while it may be harder to measure actual data, perceived security and safety was an important factor to consider in neighborhoods as well. Chair Vanderwall noted that this was a significant step by the PWETC; however, he noted that it had been under discussion and analysis for a considerable time, and opined that it was now time to move forward.
