Freihammer reported that the last update was more extensive versus technical, such as having more emphasis on the Twin Lakes Parkway and other major components at that time. Also, Mr. Freihammer advised that a Technical Advisory Group (TAC) would be scheduling meetings during the process and seeking public input, with the intent to use the PWETC to receive that comment and feedback on the plan moving forward. Mr. Culver concurred, advising that the PWETC would be the body for holding those public hearings for both plans in the future, with the RFP as presented indicating three meetings with the PWETC: one focused on the Pathway MP, and how the PWETC envisioned their involvement as part of their overall workload over the upcoming year and available meetings. At the request of Chair Cihacek, Mr. Culver reviewed the public hearing process, similar to that held for the annual MS4 hearings by the PWETC; and part of the normal business meeting of the PWETC. Motion Member Wozniak moved, Member Heimerl seconded, recommending to the City Council approval and formal release of the Request for Proposals as presented to update the current Transportation Plan, including the existing Pathway Master Plan. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried. 7. Stormwater Management Standards for Parking Lots Environmental Specialist Ryan Johnson provided a brief introduction and subsequent presentation to accomplish the goals of the city's Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan (CSWMP) for compliance and consistency in evaluating proposed development and redevelopment projects throughout the city, as detailed in the staff report and related attachments. As language in the standards is revisited, staff sought PWETC feedback regarding how parking lot projects are reviewed going forward, specific to goals, policies and options. In the policy sections for stormwater management standards, Chair Cihacek noted there was no definition of "aggregate base" materials and surfaces beyond that broad term. Mr. Johnson advised that this CSWMP did not include a definition section, but referenced two components as written in city policy. Mr. Johnson noted that the larger issue was how and when projects impact the base and/or sub -base materials based on the square footage of disturbed area, with the city and area watershed district rules and requirements for "land disturbance" not always consistent.
