Chair Cihacek indicated if there was a very specific issue a task force could be <br /> appropriate. There would also be staffing concerns with this as well and another <br /> question would be how it would actually get done within the current constraints of <br /> space, staff, time and engagement. <br /> Chair Cihacek thought the City Council would not be interested in making a brand- <br /> new Commission until the other types of committees were tried. He thought it <br /> made sense to make a subcommittee focusing on basically the green team as defined <br /> in the Green Steps Program and the Commission would have to define that better. <br /> Mr. Culver asked for clarification on what the subcommittee would be formed of. <br /> Chair Cihacek thought there would need to be clarification from City Code because <br /> he did not know that it says it has to be formed from this Commission. He thought <br /> the Commission could solicit for subcommittee members. <br /> Mr. Culver read Chapter 201.06 of city Code, indicating the Commission could go <br /> out and solicit members to be on the subcommittee and would need to go before <br /> the City Council for approval. <br /> Chair Cihacek thought the Commission could form a committee by themselves and <br /> powered by the City Code or could go back to the City Council and explain the <br /> Commission wanted to expand out that subcommittee and then create a new <br /> subcommittee, which is sort of bordering on forming a new subcommittee but the <br /> difference is structurally that committee would simply report to the PWETC and <br /> there would be a portion of the PWETC serving on that committee. <br /> Mr. Culver indicated he has been giving this item a lot of thought and how this <br /> Commission can get more input from some people who perhaps are more <br /> knowledgeable on the environmental issues without creating an official <br /> commission or subcommittee. How can the City of Roseville engage people who <br /> are perhaps already organized or organizing to provide the city with some input and <br /> recommendations without necessarily being a formal city committee, <br /> subcommittee or commission. <br /> Vice Chair Wozniak thought during the public comment period of each meeting a <br /> specific topic could be addressed that the Commission was interested in getting <br /> more information on. <br /> Mr. Culver thought there could also be a time in the meeting when a presentation <br /> about a certain topic could be made by a specialist or someone with some expertise <br /> on the topic. <br /> Chair Cihacek thought public comment period was for short statements and <br /> community concern from the public rather than long presentation format. It might <br /> be easier to invite any interested groups to come and make a presentation into the <br /> Page 5 of 9 <br />
