Chair Ficek asked if there was any option in the plans to use permeable pavement <br />for the trail and or the road and or the parking bays if that option is done. <br />Mr. Freihammer explained the City is open to using permeable pavers. There are a <br />couple of examples in Roseville but there has not been too much excitement about <br />some of the maintenance related to them or the longevity but the City could look <br />into that. <br />Chair Ficek wondered if Cool Seal could be used, a white coating over the road to <br />reflect the sun and reduce pavement temperature. <br />Mr. Culver indicated he has done a little research on this but has not seen a lot of <br />communities using it yet. It is something the City can continue to look at. The <br />biggest issue for the City is if using bituminous and then putting some sort of paint <br />or something over the bituminous, how does that impact the long-term life of that <br />bituminous. He indicated it was a great idea but there are some things the City is <br />worried about with trying some of the more unconventional treatments. <br />Member Misra explained she was happy to see some of the proposals on the traffic <br />calming ideas. She thought that was really worth pursuing, not just on this project <br />but others moving forward. She added encouragement to look at less impervious <br />surfaces where possible. <br />Mr. Culver thanked the Commission for the comments and questions and indicated <br />staff will be bringing another update to the Commission in the near future. <br />Mr. Freihammer thought this would be brought back again in late fall, October or <br />November with a feasibility report as well as a neighborhood meeting in August. <br />6. City Council Joint Meeting Discussion Items <br />Mr. Culver explained the PWETC is scheduled for its annual joint meeting with the <br />City Council on July 11, 2022. He reviewed the items the Commission considered <br />and acted upon throughout the year and asked the Commission to provide a list of <br />topics to discuss with the City Council. <br />Chair Ficek explained the discussion on the pathways master plan was a good <br />discussion and the recommendation that came out of it was great with good <br />conversation and back and forth discussion with residents. He thought that was a <br />great example of how things should work. <br />Member Misra thought it was helpful to go through the historical items and a few <br />ideas she had is the Commission talked about No Mow May and she thought <br />expanding on that might be interesting and think a little bit about expanding <br />pollinator programs for the City. There is some of the habitat by City Hall is <br />wonderful and has been successful for a while. Maybe expanding some of that into <br />the parks program and even recommendations for homeowners who might be <br />Page 4 of 7 <br />
