the general public as had been realized on LRT lines and creating an additional police presence and/or payment of fares by all riders. In conclusion, Mr. Culver advised that Metro Transit would continue reviewing ridership and other areas of the operation to ensure effective routing between branch lines feeding into this BRT system, similar to review of existing green line routes along University. Mr. Culver noted City staff's continued advocacy and monitoring of how to enhance County Road B and Larpenteur Avenue routes to get more riders to BRT stations; and advised that staff would continue to periodically update the PWETC if and when Metro Transit made significant changes or advances in that area. 6. Sanitary Sewer System Review and Discussion of Sanitary Services Acting Chair Wozniak briefly summarized meeting minutes from the joint meeting of the PWETC and City Council in June of 2015 listing the interest points and City Council charge to the PWETC specific to this discussion. Mr. Culver introduced the discussion by providing an overview of sanitary sewer services and components; typical areas for problems to develop within or along those service lines and mains; and options for residents experiencing problems under the City's current ownership policy. Mc. Culver presented a graphic synopsis via a Power Point presentation, attached hereto and made a part hereof; outlining existing city-wide sanitary sewer and Metropolitan Council trunk interceptor sewer mains and lines throughout the City. Mr. Culver noted that the vast majority of the sanitary sewer system in Roseville was installed in the 1960's, making it now 60 years old; and also amajority of those lines were of clay piping. Given the age and deterioration of piping found in the system, Mr. Culver advised that the City had started an aggressive sewer line televising and lining program; with approximately 30 miles lined to -date of the total approximate 140 miles of sanitary sewer pipes in the community. Mr. Culver advised that approximately 6-7 miles of pipe is budgeted for televising and or lining, leaving approximately 80 miles of clay pipe left to do. Mr. Culver noted that newer lines installed were constructed of PVC, lined pipe, or iron or concrete pipes. At the request of Vice Chair Wozniak, Mr. Culver advised that generally spot pipe replacements are done if there is a collapse in one segment or if there is an offset pipe, otherwise lining is being done wherever possible as a less invasive and costly technique. At the further request of Member Wozniak, Mr. Culver advised that areas being replaced generally follow the annual Pavement Management Program (PMP) with the concept of performing maintenance before repaving a street, with televising pipes the first process to determine if they're good candidates for lining, which is being found to be the case. However, for those pipes that cannot be lined for one reason or another, Mr. Culver advised that those spots were identified for open cut with the remainder of the pipe lined. Mr. Culver noted that often televising Page 3 of 13
