627 <br />while not doing the whole city but selecting only several areas that were <br />628 <br />representative. <br />629 <br />630 <br />Mr. Schwartz responded that it could done, but again required significant staff <br />631 <br />time reviewing records, doing research and other duties, even though that <br />632 <br />approach would certainly be less daunting. <br />633 <br />634 Member Seigler opined that, given the traditional Roseville housing stock and its <br />635 age and probably coming to the end of life for infrastructure systems, perhaps a <br />636 cap should be placed on the cost a homeowner or customer would need to bear <br />637 versus the city taking on the liability. Member Seigler used an example of the <br />638 city bringing in a contractor to perform the work, and absorbing costs after that <br />639 capped number, but absorbing no ownership, while yet protecting the <br />640 homeowners and limiting overages for the city and resident. <br />641 <br />642 At the request of Member Gj erdingen, Mr. Culver clarified that the Twin Lakes <br />643 Parkway extension was a commercial area and would include clean -outs as part of <br />644 any new construction. <br />645 <br />646 Mr. Schwartz suggested, at a minimuNtheOC,might wanNtoc sider <br />647 recommending enactment of a policy that laterals for any new homes would be <br />648 constructed to the City's standards and defining ownership and liability at that <br />649 time, even though that would still requiring managing two different types of <br />650 laterals, those existing and those newly constructed. <br />651 <br />652 At the request of Member Cihacek, Mr. Schwartz a ised that typically there was <br />653 a total of 10-15 new homes constructed nnually in Roseville, unless a larger <br />654development project was involved. <br />655 <br />656 ember Cihacek opined that he thoug the current code should be revised, but <br />657 ecognized that most of the City's aging housing stock is likely to hit at any time <br />658 4in the near future causing his concern that something needed to be put in place <br />659 soon to seriously look at those code changes, while also providing some type of <br />660 remedy for those lines needing replacement in the meantime. Member Cihacek <br />661 noted that $1,000 can be generated much faster by a property owner if there was a <br />662 maintenance incentive, and then phasing in other options as secondary issues to <br />663 better target and communicate issues. Based on projected costs and their relative <br />664 overall value, Member Cihacek stated that he would be interested in seeing the <br />665 feasibility of clean-out phasing and reduced maintenance costs to provide <br />666 additional life to existing laterals; and to have more accessible infrastructure data <br />667 available to determine pipes for information to homeowners to allow them to plan <br />668 ahead. <br />669 <br />670 Chair Stenlund recognized the reason the City of Golden Valley had instituted <br />671 such an aggressive stance with their water and sewer system requirements. <br />672 <br />Page 15 of 17 <br />
