city's main replacement or PMP, again to garner economies of scale for <br />replacements that could start with televising. Since people are so visual, Member <br />Wozniak opined that showing them a picture would gain better participation than <br />simply telling them. <br />From his initial consideration, Mr. Culver suggested something could perhaps be <br />done prior to a contract or signing up a contractor, clarifying that those the city used <br />for street/utility work were not the same ones working on home service lines. As <br />an example, Mr. Culver noted this would involve the city working with a local <br />plumber to offer televised services, if the City Council agreed to the process, with <br />participation being voluntary for residents, with a potential financial incentive for <br />them to participate. Mr. Culver admitted that was an interesting concept, and <br />depending on the number of homes involved in a PMP project area, more than one <br />contractor may be needed depending on the response of residents. <br />Mr. Freihammer noted that it may involve considerable coordination for timing if <br />a clean-out isn't outside a home, requiring access to the inside by the contractor and <br />working that out with a homeowner, thereby potentially requiring 2 weeks to <br />accomplish televising in one area. <br />Mr. Culver noted that Councilmember McGehee had asked staff several times why <br />the city didn't offer residents an opportunity to line their service lines when the city <br />lined their mains since work was being done in the street anyway. Mr. Culver <br />advised that staff had looked into that, and since the diameter of laterals was smaller <br />than the main, the same contractor would not be used for both lining projects. Mr. <br />Culver noted that often lining of the laterals is done from the clean-out found inside <br />the home, with a different product used for those laterals. To bring in a <br />subcontractor for lining service laterals, Mr. Culver advised would require a <br />minimum number of interested residents within a certain project area Mr. Culver <br />clarified that this didn't indicate a lack of interest by the city or its staff, but simply <br />providing some of the challenges and commitment needed based on staff's <br />preliminary conversations with contractors performing the work, who have <br />indicated it would be very difficult to coordinate lateral linings with sewer main <br />lining projects. <br />Acting Chair Wozniak noted one councilmember suggesting comparisons with <br />another metropolitan community with similarly -aged infrastructure to Roseville. <br />Mr. Culver admitted he had not completed a thorough survey, but was unaware of <br />any agencies or jurisdictions with sewer service ownership options different than <br />the City of Roseville's; but advised he would continue to perform more detailed <br />research in a broader area. <br />Mr. Culver advised that water services had more variables due to the curb stop, <br />with several agencies taking ownership to the curb stop, while many had a policy <br />similar to the City of Roseville with St. Paul Regional Water Services taking <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />
