feedback on proposed work plan items for the upcoming year, as well as presenting <br />questions to the City Council and hearing their concerns as part of tonight's discussion as <br />follows. <br />Stormwater Management <br />Councilmember McGehee expressed her interest in infiltration barrier curbs, other curbs, <br />and swales as streets are replaced; noting her preference for ribbon curbs in parking areas <br />to water vegetation in island parking areas. <br />Chair Stenlund opined that, to -date the City had done a marvelous job installing ribbon <br />curbs, pervious pavers, and landscaping to treat rainwater where it fell. From a civil <br />engineering versus lay person's perspective, Chair Stenlund spoke to the City's efforts, <br />using the recent land acquisition as part of the Victoria Street Project as an example of <br />securing sufficient land to address stormwater management issues. Chair Stenlund <br />opined that he found the City to be quite advanced and doing a wonderful job looking at <br />alternatives and considering future trending. <br />Sanitary and/or Water Service Line Laterals <br />Councilmember McGehee suggested a minimum notification of options available to <br />residents when the City undertakes a sewer or water main lining project, allowing them to <br />consider having their laterals lined at the same time. Councilm ember McGehee expressed <br />interest in a possible cost-sharing effort between the City and residents to get those stub <br />lines done and address leakages currently occurring and no longer remaining a vulnerable <br />part of the system. <br />Councilmember Willmus expressed his interest in the PWEC's review and subsequent <br />recommendation to the City Council regarding the various water/sewer service lateral <br />issues before the next cold weather season. <br />Councilmember Laliberte agreed that more work was needed from the PWETC on <br />water/sewer service laterals; and expressed her eagerness to see the commission's <br />recommendations. <br />Councilmember Etten agreed with Councilmember McGehee, opining he would love to <br />have cost-sharing as an option in lining his service lateral before it fails. <br />Regarding sanitary sewer laterals, Member Cihacek sought clarification on what the City <br />Council desired as a goal or solution. Member Cihacek questioned if the intent was for <br />recommendation or a series of recommendations from the PWETC or what would be most <br />beneficial for the end product for this complex and multifaceted issue. Member Cihacek <br />opined there may not be only one solution, and sought more guidance for the PWETC in <br />order to provide sufficient information to the City Council in their policy decision-making <br />and for the PWETC to perform their research better and provide the best possible <br />recommendations. <br />Page 9 of 16 <br />
