535 <br />with this. They also need to discuss where to put it and what solar size can be <br />536 <br />accommodated. The market for community solar gardens has decreased and any <br />537 <br />Roseville resident that wants to participate in the program now can. The question <br />538 <br />of how much equity the City wants to put forward changes the City's financial <br />539 <br />benefit. The proposed benefit was low because they were going to put zero money <br />540 <br />down and how they structure a deal changes the financial benefit. The facilities <br />541 <br />study will give them a sense of what they have to work with because they do not <br />542 <br />want to be putting in solar and then replacing it five years later. <br />543 <br />544 <br />Chair Cihacek inquired if they have heard back on the organics issue. <br />545 <br />546 <br />Mr. Freihammer responded they have students doing a capstone project on it and <br />547 <br />will provide information sometime in January when it is completed. <br />548 <br />549 <br />Chair Cihacek inquired how much review will be needed at the next meeting for <br />550 <br />the Pathways Master Plan and policy statements. He inquired if it should be on <br />551 <br />consent, or open it up for discussion. <br />552 <br />553 <br />Mr. Freihammer stated they will send the documents out ahead of%for review <br />554 <br />and they can have further discussion at the meeting if needed. <br />555 <br />556 <br />Chair Cihacek suggested they provide the Planning Commission with an advance <br />557 <br />copy of the final plan. <br />558 <br />559 <br />Member Wozniak commented he is working with some Roseville citizens to draft <br />560 <br />sustainability oriented goals for the Comprehensive Plan. <br />561 <br />562 <br />Chair Cihacek commented they will not address the water rate structure until <br />563 <br />January. He requested a breakdown of what people spend in summer versus <br />564 <br />winter, rates structure from other cities, examples of cities that have a focus on <br />565 <br />water conservation, how a change in rate will affect people, reasons why high - <br />566 <br />water users are over the average, and historical background on why 30,000 gallons <br />567 <br />was originally used. <br />568 <br />569 <br />Member Seigler suggested they increase the summer rate and keep the winter rate <br />570 <br />as is. <br />571 <br />572 <br />Member Wozniak commented if they ignore winter rates, they may be ignoring <br />573 <br />inefficient appliances and devices that do not conserve water. <br />574 <br />575 <br />Member Misra suggested they look at a broad spectrum of users, not just users at <br />576 <br />30,000 gallons. <br />577 <br />578 <br />Mr. Freihammer announced the Community Workshop #2 will be held <br />579 <br />Wednesday, November 8 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Thursday November 9 from <br />580 <br />1:00 to 3:00 p.m. <br />Page 13 of 14 <br />
