445 <br />priorities and areas of greatest impact or threat to water resources addressed and <br />446 <br />ranked by the public to -date. Ms. Nestingen encouraged individual PWETC <br />447 <br />members to participate in the electronic survey. <br />448 <br />449 <br />Discussion included how the minimal responses compared to other communities <br />450 <br />and their rankings (similar to Burnsville rankings and trending there based on 80 <br />451 <br />responses); invalidity of the survey at this point given the few responses received; <br />452 <br />how to promote the survey to receive additional participation; and other electronic <br />453 <br />options to push involvement and public feedback. <br />454 <br />455 <br />Assistant Public Works Director Freihammer advised that his staff would work <br />456 <br />with the Communication Department to emphasize and promote the electronic <br />457 <br />survey. <br />458 <br />459 <br />Chair Cihacek opined that given the number of households in Roseville, the survey <br />460 <br />results to -date were insufficient to indicate any accurate trends. <br />461 <br />462 <br />Member Lenz encouraged Ms. Nestingen and city staff to rethink community <br />463 <br />outreach, utilizing all current technology to increase that participation. <br />464 <br />465 <br />Specific to water quality issues displayed by Ms. Nestingen, Member Wozniak <br />466 <br />asked if there was data and measurements available from other agencies (e.g. <br />467 <br />Department of Natural Resources, Ramsey County Public Works, etc.) that would <br />468 <br />provide additional data but had already been published. Member Wozniak opined <br />469 <br />that data would help inform the city's plan, and be helpful for residents if accurately <br />470 <br />reflecting the Roseville water quality picture. <br />471 <br />472 <br />Ms. Nestingen responded that such data wasn't in the current plan, but could be <br />473 <br />added to the plan update. <br />474 <br />475 <br />As suggested by Member Heimerl, Chair Cihacek agreed that providing <br />476 <br />comparison survey analysis with other area communities (e.g. Cities of Shoreview, <br />477 <br />Arden Hills and New Brighton) could provide and supplement the City of Roseville <br />478 <br />survey for an apples to apples comparison and provide higher niche data allowing <br />479 <br />for better judgment overall. <br />480 <br />481 <br />Assistant Public Works Director Freihammer noted city staff would also be doing <br />482 <br />this process with the City of Falcon Heights, even though it had no water bodies <br />483 <br />within their jurisdiction, similar questions could be reflective of their community <br />484 <br />as well. Mr. Freihammer stated staff and Ms. Freihammer would accept as many <br />485 <br />results as were forthcoming. <br />486 <br />487 <br />Member Lenz contributed the lack of survey responses to a communication <br />488 <br />problem, with the PWETC not even aware of the survey available online. <br />489 <br />Page 11 of 20 <br />
