533 Chair Cihacek stated policies give guidance. The policy would open the door to <br />534 start the formalization of some account metrics or tools. He stated he did not have <br />535 any concerns about this at this time but felt the Commission would continually <br />536 review it because of its content and how it integrates in other areas. <br />537 <br />538 Member Wozniak agreed and indicated this is written as advisory and not set in <br />539 stone what must be done. He thought that would be the only way this policy <br />540 would work because mandates will not work. He thought it was important to <br />541 pursue adoption of the policy as part of the green steps initiative. <br />542 <br />543 Member Misra stated she liked the policy statement that refers to trees, <br />544 environmental corridors and wildlife movement and thought to Commissioner <br />545 Joyce's comment, as she looked through the actual policy activities, the only <br />546 reference to that is 4.5, the use of native plants and vegetation. She thought there <br />547 might need to be more in the policy about wildlife corridors. She thought there is <br />548 a lot of talk about the pavement but maybe there could be a little more in the <br />549 policy about the greenways. <br />550 <br />551 The Commission thought that was a good idea. <br />552 <br />553 Mr. Freihammer asked if the Commission wanted to integrate the proposed policy <br />554 with something like what Bloomington has. <br />555 <br />556 Chair Cihacek indicated he was fine with what Roseville has now, recognizing <br />557 this is something that the Commission will pass and pick up again. He was fine <br />558 with getting this on the Council agenda to pass the—policy and then have this put <br />559 on the Commission agenda in the future to review and fix what needs to be <br />560 improved on it. <br />561 <br />562 Member Wozniak stated he would be fine with that and would like to include <br />563 Commissioner Misra's comment about expanding it to other corridors in a general <br />564 way. <br />565 <br />566 Chair Cihacek thought all of the points in section four should have a <br />567 corresponding point. Rebalancing that or building it differently should be part of <br />568 the conversation. He thought to strengthen the policy there needed to be a <br />569 coherency between those goal statements and actual policy perspective. <br />570 <br />571 Mr. Freihammer asked the Commission if Attachment A or Attachment B as a <br />572 draft policy. <br />573 <br />574 Mr. Sandstrom stated staff could draft Attachment B as a policy with some of <br />575 Attachment A included at a future time. <br />576 <br />Page 13 of 15 <br />
