172 Mr. Culver indicated that was correct. <br />173 <br />174 Vice Chair Wozniak thought that fit in with Dr. Sandor's presentation about over <br />175 watering. He wondered if there was some way to put those two things together. <br />176 <br />177 Mr. Culver indicated staff is planning on being very aggressive next year with an <br />178 outreach campaign, particularly directed to the high-water users that the city knows <br />179 is irrigating and encourage them to use new technology to help lower their water <br />180 usage. The city has applied for some grants to hopefully do some rebates for some <br />181 actual controllers and things like that. Even if the city does not get the grants dollars <br />182 may be set aside to do that and get at least a couple of users in Roseville to do it <br />183 and report on the results. The Council was not opposed to ever setting an additional <br />184 tier but what the Council wanted to do was do a targeted outreach campaign first <br />185 and see if people will change their behavior by doing that first and then increase <br />186 the rates if needed. <br />187 <br />188 Member Misra thought with all of the developments going in that have not done <br />189 their landscaping could the city talk to them about some of the options. <br />190 <br />191 Mr. Culver indicated that could be done. <br />192 <br />193 Member Hammer inquired if the city gets much inquiring when the rates are <br />194 published. <br />195 <br />196 Mr. Culver indicated generally there is not much inquiry. He thought most people <br />197 really do not notice. The recycling one might be interesting because of the <br />198 percentage. <br />199 <br />200 Motion <br />201 Member Joyce moved, Member Hammer seconded, to approve the 2020 <br />202 Utility Rate Schedule. <br />203 <br />204 Ayes:5 <br />205 Nays:0 <br />206 Abstain: 1 (Wozniak) <br />207 Motion carried. <br />208 <br />209 8. Sustainability Efforts in Community Development <br />210 Community Development Director Janice Gundlach was at the meeting to present <br />211 the sustainability efforts within her department including Economic Development <br />212 focus areas. <br />213 <br />214 Chair Cihacek asked Ms. Gundlach to expand on the MN GreenStar and MN Green <br />215 Community certifications. He wondered what each one was and differed and what <br />216 each one represented. <br />217 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br />
