those underrepresented areas and communities within Roseville and that will help towards those equity and diversity efforts as well. He pointed out how impressed he was how that came up organically through the process of the Energy Action Team and everything and how it spotlights and highlights how much of those items are true values of the community for that to come out of their process organically. Chair Wozniak explained one other thing the Council discussed last night was whether or not to fill the vacancy on this Commission and the Council decided to wait until the next round of applications with the thought being that the City wants to try to get better representation among all people in the City on the Commission. Mr. Culver thought the Council will do a formal solicitation in August with the intent of filling the vacancies in September. He indicated the City is fully anticipating that the emergency order will be ended at the next special session in July or before. There would be a need for a special session where the City anticipates the Governor will release his emergency powers and at that point the open meeting laws will go back into full effect and the Commission will have to meet in person. He noted there are some exemptions for individuals within a sixty- day window of that, which he can address offline, if needed. The expectation will be that the Commission will meet in person in the Council Chambers on Tuesday, July 27ffi. 5. MS4 Annual Meeting Mr. Johnson made a presentation to the Commission on the 2020 MS4 Annual meeting. He noted the Commission is required to receive public comment and feedback regarding the City's proposed Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (S WPPP), and past year's report. Member Joyce thanked Mr. Johnson for the presentation. He explained he was wondering about bacteria testing and is that something the City does or the County that monitors lakes. Mr. Johnson explained this is not something the City does; it is something the County tests. The County has a lab that does a lot of the water quality testing. One of the things the County looks for is e coli at McCarron, where the beach then gets shut down. That is all run through Ramsey County and the way the County runs their water quality testing lab. The City works with the County if there are questions or tests needed to be run. Member Spencer indicated the one pond layout shown in the presentation was on Fairview, he wondered if this were to be dredged to eight feet, would the City have to do anything differently such are cordon it off and put a fence around it. He was wondering because if dredged the pond could be fairly deep and a hazard for people or is there a point where the City will not go past because then it would make for a safety concern.
