Chair Stenlund and members thanked Mr. Schwartz for providing the information and recognized the diversity of the Public Works Department and related role for the PWETC. At the request of Member Seigler, Mr. Schwartz advised that the data was available to the public as requested, including requests of commissioners. If interested, staff encouraged members to contact them to see a lining project live and in operation, as there were several underway at this time. 9. Possible Items for Next Meeting—July 29, 2014 • Community Solar Issues, including reviewing other community ordinances (e.g. City of Rosemount) to keep on track to facilitate possible 2015 City participation in community solar issues and their role and what is best suited for the City of Roseville. • Frozen Pipe Alternatives as a priority topic to provide recommendations to the City Council before needed this fall in anticipation of the winter season. • Pathway Priorities and Rankings At the request of Member Gjerdingen, staff advised that they would review the previous resolution adopted by the PWETC and presented to the City Council and whether additional work was needed at this time. However, Mr. Schwartz noted that this was an exceptionally busy time of year for staff to focus on research given the number of construction projects it needed to monitor and inspect, but offered to research whether or not any additional work was needed on pathway issues. • Bicycling/Commercial Districts, with Chair Stenlund advising that additional education was needed for the PWETC to better understand the situation prior to any additional meeting discussions. Member Gjerdingen expressed interest in reviewing other cities with district mapping as part of that educational piece. Mr. Culver advised that staff could briefly explore current State Statute and what the City was bound to, along with anything in current City Code that may supersede Statute or anything additional needed. Mr. Culver advised that the information could be provided to the PWETC for their feedback at that time. • Mr. Schwartz noted past discussions about having Mr. Johnson provide information on rain gardens and BMP's, and current practices. Chair Stenlund suggested a representative from Capitol Region Watershed District as another resource for that discussion as well. • Chair Stenlund requested an update on railroad noise issues in Little Canada, and any communication on where the signalization efforts are at.
