Vice Chair Wozniak inquired if there was much discussion about addressing the <br />tree diversifying issue. <br />Chair Cihacek explained part of the conclusion that came about was that there is a <br />jurisdictional issue inside 706 in which the Park Board is apparently given some <br />capacities as a tree board but it is not clear in 706 what that means because the next <br />section states the city overall has responsibility for planting and planning. <br />Chair Cihacek reviewed other items that were discussed at the Forestry Task Force <br />meeting. <br />Mr. Culver indicated the city Council interviewed two candidates for Chair <br />Cihacek's open position and Council will be appointing those members on March <br />9t'. <br />Vice Chair Wozniak explained in January he received an email from a resident and <br />thought other Commission Members did as well regarding the poor driving <br />conditions when snowing on the on -ramps to Hwy 36 at Rice Street. The resident <br />did not want a response but did want to voice their concerns about the road and how <br />dangerous it is when it snows. He indicated he was bringing it up because he was <br />not sure what to do when the Commission receives an email from a resident at the <br />Commission level. <br />Mr. Culver was fairly certain that staff responded to the resident to indicate the <br />email was forwarded on to MnDOT. <br />Chair Cihacek thought staff should be the first communicator in those instances and <br />if needed staff will reach out to the Commission for a response. <br />Member Misra thought as development occurs in the city certain intersections and <br />roads will become more congested and she wondered how the city is looking at <br />that. <br />Mr. Culver thought the Commission could have an entire meeting on this. He <br />reviewed what the city currently does with new developments and the surrounding <br />intersections. <br />5. Sump Pump Enforcement <br />Assistant City Engineer Luke Sandstrom provided abrief review of the Sump Pump <br />Ordinance. He noted city staff began an Inflow/Infiltration (UI) flow monitoring <br />study in May 2017. With three years' worth of sewer flow data staff would like the <br />Commission to discuss how to incorporate this data into how the city enforces the <br />new ordinance. <br />Mr. Sandstrom made a presentation to the Commission. <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
