170 Member Collins indicated he had opinions that he wanted to keep to himself at this 171 time. 172 173 Chair Ficek noted he is an engineer by trade but he is balancing that with maybe 174 there is a cultural change that is needed. He explained that he has talked to 175 Mr. Culver previously about streets and the engineers designing them for cars and 176 the change now is to try to design the roads for cars and bicycles and trying to 177 determine which will dictate the rules for the road. hi terms of questions he has of 178 what he would like to see, it would be interesting to see some of the things the City 179 has rolled out and how decisions were made and what were some of the aspects 180 looked at and what were the results. He also agreed he would like to hear from the 181 Police Chief and the education processes that can be there, not only for a roll out 182 but is there a way, if they were to go with a lower speed limit, are there programs 183 that can get the residents involved where they can actually start to understand what 184 the actual speed is when standing out in the front yard. He would also like to find 185 out from other cities that decided not to go to uniform city speed limits and find out 186 the reasons why. Generally, he thought there is agreement to continue to look at 187 this and gather more information before making a recommendation. He thought 188 the public needed to be involved but not immediately, he thought the public should 189 be included at a later stage. 190 191 6. Civic Campus Master Plan Pre -Design Project Update 192 Mr. Culver updated the Commission on the Civic Campus Master Plan Pre -Design 193 Project. 194 195 Member Collins indicated there were a couple of things he noticed such as the salt 196 positioning and dry storage area was facing west and usually when it snows the 197 winds blows from that way and will direct the snow into that area. He wondered if 198 that is the best location for these. 199 200 Mr. Culver explained the largest issue the City has with that is staff does not want 201 to put those uses on the west side because it would be immediately adjacent to the 202 residents there with a lot more noise and would impact that area. He was also not 203 sure if it would fit along the north end. There was also a plan to have a secondary 204 access to the maintenance facility on the north side. He thought out of necessity 205 and how the site works that is where it ended up. Some valid points were brought 206 up to maybe put some sort of screen or curtain in front of those bins to keep them 207 covered during some of the rain and storm events. 208 209 Member Misra thanked Mr. Culver for the presentation and wondered if there has 210 been any discussion about how to incorporate some of the renewable principals. If 211 there is the possibility of solar on top of a part of this future facility. 212 213 Mr. Culver explained at one of the presentations to the City Council that staff 214 actually had that conversation with them. There was discussion about sustainability 215 and what level of sustainability does the City want to design with these buildings Page 5 of 6
