Regular City Council Meeting Monday,December 2, 2019 Page 31 could press rewind on. But the city has not had these kinds of problems with oth- er projects that are moving large amounts of dirt. Councilmember Willmus thought the things the Council was looking to address is what the city do that is effective and proactive going forward. One thing is to make sure people are aware of what is going on. With some of these larger pro- jects, maybe the city does need to look at the bonding structure, what is set aside there, and when issues are brought to the city's attention so the city is more proac- tive in terms of enforcement as far as hours. Also, being more proactive in clean- up of the streets on a regular basis, particularly in times of wet weather. That is going to be expensive and he did not know if that is necessarily a burden that should be borne by the broader public of Roseville.

On average, the trucks run twelve hours a day, six days a week, which is 372 trucks a day with sixty passes of the sweeper. She noted that is a lot of trucks and those trucks sometimes start at 6:30 a.m. idling outside the neigh- bor's bedroom window before the trucks start entering the cemetery property. The truck drivers are constantly putting on the brakes when coming around the corner and shifting gears, which is very noisy. She stated David Aronow sent a video to Councilman Groff showing this. She stated the neighbors are not able to open windows in warmer weather, cannot sit on their decks or be in their yard, and it is not safe to cross the road. There is one neighbor who was going south on Victoria and the truck crossed the line so and her neighbor had to drive up on the property to avoid getting hit by the truck as it was turning into the cemetery. These are serious issues that should have been considered and an impact on the
