399 As part of the education/outreach program, Acting Chair Wozniak asked if the city 400 could consider offering discounted televising of service laterals in advance of the 401 city's main replacement or PMP, again to garner economies of scale for 402 replacements that could start with televising. Since people are so visual, Member 403 Wozniak opined that showing them a picture would gain better participation than 404 simply telling them. 405 406 From his initial consideration, Mr. Culver suggested something could perhaps be 407 done prior to a contract or signing up a contractor, clarifying that those the city used 408 for street/utility work were not the same ones working on home service lines. As 409 an example, Mr. Culver noted this would involve the city working with a local 410 plumber to offer televised services, if the City Council agreed to the process, with 411 participation being voluntary for residents, with a potential financial incentive for 412 them to participate. Mr. Culver admitted that was ainteresting concept, and 413 depending on the number of homes involved in a PMP ct area, more than one 414 contractor may be needed dependin on the response of re ts. 415 416 Mr. Freihammer noted that it may involve considerable coordination for timing if 417 a clean-out isn't outside a home, requiring access to the inside by the contractor and 418 working that out with a homeowner, thereby potentially requiring 2 weeks to 419 accomplish televising in one area. °11ii�lllllllllllll�. 420 421 Mr. Culver noted that Councilmember McGehee had asked staff several times why 422 the city didn't offer residents an opportunity to line their service lines when the city 423 lined their mains since work was being done in the ,street anyway. Mr. Culver 424 advised that staff had looked into that, and since the diameter of laterals was smaller 425 than the main, the same contractor would not be used for both lining projects. Mr. 426 Culver noted that often lining of the laterals is done from the clean-out found inside 427 the home, with a different product used for those laterals. To bring in a 428 subcontractor for lining service laterals, Mr. Culver advised would require a 429 minimum number of interested residents within a certain project area. Mr. Culver 430 clarified that this didn't indicate a lack of interest by the city or its staff, but simply 431 providing some of the challenges and commitment needed based on staffs 432 preliminary conversations with contractors performing the work, who have 433 indicated it would ery difficult to coordinate lateral linings with sewer main 434 lining projects. 435 11 436 Acting Chair niak noted one councilmember suggesting comparisons with 437 another metropolitan community with similarly -aged infrastructure to Roseville. 438 439 Mr. Culver admitted had not completed a thorough survey, but was unaware of any 440 agencies or jurisdictions with sewer service ownership options different than the 441 City of Roseville's; but advised he would continue to perform more detailed 442 research in a broader area. 443 Page 10 of 13
