m <br />82 6. Communication Items <br />83 Mr. Culver provided a brief review and update on projects and maintenance <br />84 activities listed in the staff report dated June 23, 2020. <br />85 <br />86 Youth Commissioner Lynch arrived at 6:58 p.m. <br />87 <br />88 Member Misra indicated her appreciation to the staff for keeping everything <br />89 running as smoothly and seamlessly as it has been during the pandemic. She asked <br />90 for more information on the park land that would be dedicated as a result of the <br />91 development of the area on the east side of Lexington and would it be developed as <br />92 a park or more as a natural area. <br />93 <br />94 Mr. Culver reviewed the plans with the Commission. <br />95 <br />96 7. MS4 Annual Meeting <br />97 Mr. Culver explained in 2003, Roseville received a permit from the MPCA <br />98 regarding how the City manages the discharge of storm water into public waters. <br />99 He presented a summary of what the city's plan is to reduce the amount of sediment <br />100 and pollutants that enter surface water from storm sewer systems.
