Specific to ongoing education, Member Trainor noted labels on bins providing <br />"do's" and "don't's" and asked if there were any plans to update labels on carts <br />(e.g. changes in refrigerator containers). <br />Mr. Goodwin advised that it would depend if the city considered it worth the <br />expense, since those current labels were molded into recycling bins, and would <br />require replacing lids, not simply adhering a new sticker. Mr. Goodwin suggested <br />exhausting additional educational opportunities as a more cost-effective method to <br />start with; and since it represented only a small percentage of collected materials. <br />As an example of that educational aspect, Mr. Goodwin noted the need to <br />differentiate between refrigerator boxes and freezer boxes, where plastic was <br />woven in with paper fibers to repel liquor and therefore can't be made into pulp and <br />if found at the paper mill those materials were tossed, making the broader recycling <br />effort negligible. <br />Mr. Trainor, with agreement from his colleagues, noted that distinction had not <br />been communicated as well as it should be. <br />Chair Cihacek thanked Mr. Goodwin for his report; and Mr. Goodwin encouraged <br />individual commissioners to address additional comments or questions to staff for <br />forwarding to him for a response. <br />7. Engineering Design Standards <br />Mr. Freihammer provided a short presentation and draft of the recently -developed <br />Public Works Engineering Department Design Standards Manual that was <br />currently being updated in conjunction with revisions to the city's subdivision <br />codes. Mr. Freihammer advised that the intent was have those engineering <br />standards and engineering -related specificities that could change periodically <br />separated out from city code, with only references provided in city code to the <br />manual. With engineering standards located in one spot, Mr. Freihammer advised <br />that it would make it easier for all parties. <br />Mr. Freihammer's presentation included what was and was not included in the <br />manual, including city design standards for utilities and infrastructure, material <br />specifics and other details. Once adopted by the City Council, Mr. Freihammer <br />advised that the document would be posted on the city's website. <br />PWETC Questions <br />At the request of Member Wozniak, Mr. Freihammer confirmed that there were not <br />many areas available in Roseville for possible subdivision, beyond those <br />considered three -lot yard splits (e.g. Acorn Road); with the most recent large scale <br />development that of Wheaton Woods. Unless homes are removed and lots redone, <br />Mr. Freihammer opined that he didn't see a huge needs; but clarified that the <br />manual would be used for new construction as well (e.g. Aldi development). At <br />the request of Member Lenz, Mr. Freihammer clarified that these standards applied <br />Page 12 of 14 <br />
