City Council Work Session Meeting Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 16 Ms. Major pointed out that the asterisk simply points out revisions. She indicated an explanation will be added as a note to the end of the chapter. Councilmember McGehee inquired whether assigning names or changing names of City-owned parks should have a role for the City Council. Mayor Roe clarified that all Park and Rec recommendations come before the City Council for approval. Councilmember Etten commented that these are the maps used in the 2010 master plan. He asked for an increased size in font and a reference that it was a concept plan as part of the 2010 master plan. Councilmember Etten added that the Pathways Constellation Concept Map is out- dated. On the southern border it notes "trail to be built in 2010." He suggested that all trails and connections should be updated on these maps since the docu- ment was first prepared. Councilmember Laliberte concluded that the fixes will be a nice improvement. Mayor Roe noted that on page 7, the word"oval"is repeated. Chapter 9 Ms. Perdu noted that the Resilience and Environmental Protection chapter was a collaborative effort between LHB and the Public Works staff The Resilience in- formation was new, and the Environmental Protection was updated from the pre- vious Environmental Protection chapter in the 2030 plan. Ms. Major stated there is strong support in the community around issues of resili- ency, especially around open space and the protection of natural resources. This chapter reflects those goals and ideas. There is a section on trees and land. Water is covered in a separate chapter. Most discussion with the Council and Planning Commission has occurred around greenhouse gas emissions and resiliency goals. Also discussed are renewable energy and other geothermal, wind, and solar strat- egies as well as environmental education outreach. It is important to note that the sector with the most opportunity is the commercial and business sector, since it is the largest contributor to these goals. Councilmember McGehee commented that this is a very good chapter. She asked about radon in terms of education and noted she is very interested in tree diversi- ty, especially partnering with businesses and other municipalities to make differ- ent trees available. Another area of importance is community gardens, whether that is on abandoned sites or right-of-ways not heavily used. Perhaps those could be included in the Parks section. As far as GreenStep Cities, there is also a Bird City that Roseville could become as part of GreenStep. That might be a nice goal.
