people were gathered and getting the community's pulse at public events during the <br />summer when people are out and about. Member Heimerl suggested setting up <br />booths at Central Park during those events, and perhaps focusing on different issues <br />or topics and possibly in advance of important upcoming issues or areas of interest. <br />Chair Cihacek agreed that other opportunities for obtaining data during public <br />gatherings or meetings may help create a larger data source over a broader spectrum <br />for tracking over the ten-year period from one plan update to another versus waiting <br />to gather that input in the year the plan is due. <br />Member Wozniak suggested reaching out to lake management associations for their <br />input. <br />Mr. Johnson responded that there were several in Roseville (e.g. Lake Owasso and <br />Lake McCarron's Associations), advising that historically those groups had <br />provided comment (e.g. at the last update in 2013), but this year neither electronic <br />or other efforts when posted had received that input, nor having people show up at <br />informational meetings from those lake associations. <br />Chair Cihacek suggested person-to-person information shifts may be needed for <br />future efforts. Chair Cihacek asked if individual PWETC comments previously <br />submitted had been incorporated into this most current draft of the CSWMP. <br />Ms. Nestingten responded that they had been received, but not yet incorporated <br />until after tonight's meeting. <br />Member Wozniak asked if there was a way to raise the awareness and expand <br />efforts with residents on area lakes currently without an association to point out <br />some benefits in them forming their own lake management groups to improve water <br />quality. Member Wozniak asked what steps staff took to make homeowners aware <br />of lake quality issues in this area. <br />Mr. Johnson responded that homeowners along lakeshores must be aware of the <br />issues faced by lake bodies (e.g. McCarron's and Owasso, neither of which are <br />impaired right now) and impacts to property values when lakes are designated as <br />impaired or when their water quality if considered good. As water quality degrades, <br />Mr. Johnson noted that property values decreased as well, but unfortunately <br />homeowners typically didn't become concerned until a lake became impaired. Mr. <br />Johnson advised that he wasn't aware of any other lake homeowner associations in <br />Roseville, since as an example, a considerable portion of Little Lake Johanna was <br />owned by the University of Northwestern. In response to Chair Cihacek, Mr. <br />Johnson reported that Langton Lake and Lake Josephine were mostly publicly <br />owned by the city and county. <br />Mr. Johnson advised that the next steps once this draft of the CSWMP was updated <br />by SEH would be to move to public agency review. <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />
