Mr. Johnson explained that is actually a good point and the City is working on that <br />this year. He reviewed what staff is trying to do in the parks this summer in order <br />to come up with a plan to implement in 2022. <br />Chair Wozniak asked in regard to salt use, he knew that Roseville has been looking <br />at alternatives to granular salt to try and control icing in terms of using alternatives <br />like beef brine and other applications and saw staff is tracking how much is used <br />but is there any concern that there may be a restriction on how much salt can be <br />applied given the effect it is starting to have on water quality. <br />Mr. Johnson did not think it would actually get to the point of putting a restriction <br />on how much can be used because it will end up coming down to safety and the <br />municipalities and the other road authorities are going to use what they have to use <br />given the conditions to make a safe driving surface. The PCA is pushing for <br />education and making sure that the applicators are trained. <br />Public Comment <br />Chair Wozniak offered an opportunity for public comment with no one <br />coming forward. <br />Chair Wozniak thanked Mr. Johnson for his presentation. <br />6.
