Mr. Leaf agreed any meaningful public input in the 2013 update was disappointing, <br /> even though lake associations had been specifically invited to share their input. Of <br /> those six residents showing up at the open house opportunity, Mr. Leaf noted two <br /> were actually from the same household. Therefore, Mr. Leaf advised different <br /> opportunities were need to get that interaction,whether via web-based tools or other <br /> areas consistent with what the city was already doing. Mr. Leaf asked for PWETC <br /> input to get that citizen involvement during the process. <br /> Ms. Nestingen reviewed the seven goals in the current plan and briefly reviewed <br /> each goal statements, along with suggestions for those needing updated, revised, <br /> added to or removed from the next update; also seeking input from the PWETC. <br /> As the PWETC reviewed the plan for their input, Mr. Leaf noted that there were a <br /> number of policies under each goal category with more specificity as per city <br /> intentions for consistency with the desires for the city and serving to set the <br /> direction for the plan as a whole. <br /> Ms. Nestingen reviewed the current 2013 plan issues assessment to review <br /> localized flooding or drainage issues in Roseville, water quality impairments, <br /> operations and maintenance, education, outreach and collaboration. <br /> Member Wozniak noted he didn't see the Fairview Avenue drainage area in the <br /> plan. <br /> Mr. Culver clarified that the broader area for improvements encompassing Fairview <br /> Avenue and Highway 36 was provided. Mr. Culver noted he had been interviewed <br /> earlier today by Channel 5 News about that specific intersection. Mr. Culver noted <br /> the need to divert water upstream of that area to reduce rate flow and move storage <br /> from that intersection elsewhere, all long-term solutions. <br /> Mr. Leaf advised that over the 10-year term of the plan there would be a <br /> considerable range of opportunities to address issues, including on the ground <br /> implementation, stormwater improvements,ponds, and studies to analyze the most <br /> cost-effective, long-term plans both physically as well as operationally (e.g. street <br /> sweeping variables and frequency). <br /> Ms. Nestingen noted part of the public involvement process would include <br /> examples of public concern heard most frequently, especially from those living on <br /> lakeshores. <br /> Mr. Leaf noted another item heard more frequently was the invasive or nuisance <br /> vegetation infestations, which hadn't even been the radar for the last ten-year plan. <br /> However, Mr. Leaf reported this had been a banner year for vegetation growth. <br /> Mr. Culver agreed that those comments were frequently fielded by city staff as well. <br /> Page 6 of 14 <br />
