672 <br />Member Lenz suggested adding "members of the general public" to that to appeal <br />673 <br />to involving the entire community in these efforts; indicating that everyone is <br />674 <br />responsible for the outcome. <br />675 <br />676 <br />Goal 5 — Pollution Prevention and Maintenance <br />677 <br />Ms. Nestingen reported that this goal was wide-ranging, and tied into the city's <br />678 <br />MS4 and NDPES permit. <br />679 <br />680 <br />Member Wozniak suggested modifying Item #1 to include Ramsey County <br />681 <br />Organics Collection sites; and further suggested including pet waste clean-up. <br />682 <br />683 <br />Mr. Freihammer noted these were all part of the specific mandated requirements in <br />684 <br />the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan. <br />685 <br />686 <br />Member Wozniak asked if there was anything addressing yard waste going into the <br />687 <br />stormwater system. <br />688 <br />689 <br />Mr. Johnson responded that it was addressed in the city's nuisance code and Illicit <br />690 <br />Discharge Ordinance. Mr. Johnson reported that the Public Works crew provided <br />691 <br />educational notices based on their observations when out and about, and used door <br />692 <br />hangers to help with those educational efforts. At the request of Member Wozniak, <br />693 <br />Mr. Johnson noted this was referenced in Item #3 of this goal. While not previously <br />694 <br />aware that the city addressed this, Member Wozniak opined that was a good thing. <br />695 <br />696 <br />Ms. Nestingen suggested elaborating on that in the plan update under educational <br />697 <br />information, duly noted by Mr. Johnson. <br />698 <br />699 <br />Goal #6 — Coordination and Collaboration <br />700 <br />Mr. Johnson advised that this was intentionally broad; and noted city staff worked <br />701 <br />closely with the state, watershed districts, and soil & water conservation districts; <br />702 <br />along with other agencies as applicable. <br />703 <br />704 <br />Member Lenz suggested Item #5 include language such as "...but not limited to... <br />705 <br />to reference other agencies that may or may not be in existence at this time or <br />706 <br />change from time to time. <br />707 <br />708 <br />Goal #7 - Sustainability <br />709 <br />At the request of Chair Cihacek, Mr. Freihammer clarified that Item #2 referred <br />710 <br />more to city infrastructure construction versus private development; with Chair <br />711 <br />Cihacek suggesting this be made clearer. <br />712 <br />713 <br />At the request of Member Seigler as to what Item #3 intended, Mr. Freihammer <br />714 <br />clarified this referred to directionally boring instead of digging up an entire road to <br />715 <br />avoid runoff exposure and erosion as applicable. At the request of Member Seigler, <br />716 <br />Mr. Freihammer further confirmed that most of this page generally dealt with city <br />717 <br />activities. <br />Page 16 of 20 <br />
