Vice Chair Collins asked if the students knew what level the City of Roseville will <br />be at without filling out anything. He noticed there were two stars. <br />Ben explained that in their preliminary research into this they used the assessment <br />tool, and a lot of that information is speculative information that they do not have <br />access to and there is a lot of very detailed information they could not easily find <br />just by going onto the website. It is something that needs to come from a body such <br />as the PWETC. <br />Ava explained that this is very nuanced information, such as sidewalk lengths and <br />what certain distance is between a stop sign. It is information they were not able to <br />access. <br />Simon thought, if they had to estimate at this time, the City of Roseville would <br />probably be in the bronze category, based off the information they would be able <br />to find in their research. <br />Member Cicha asked if there are any other cities in the presentation that would be <br />similar to Roseville. <br />Ava reviewed cities in Minnesota that have achieved the green team certification, <br />but not the whole walk friendly certification. There are cities that are relatively <br />similar to Roseville's size and demographic that have achieved walk friendly <br />certification. Minneapolis is used as the main example just because that is similar <br />in the sense that it is close in proximity and a lot of the programs that are used in <br />Minneapolis can be transferred over to Roseville. There are also cities that are <br />smaller that have been walk friendly certified. <br />Chair Ficek asked if this is an annual renewal or is the certification permanent. <br />Simon believed the City would get certified and would need to be renewed every <br />eight to ten years. <br />Ava indicated the certification would last until it was time for renewal. <br />Ms. Bakken indicated that currently the green team is the PWET Commission, but <br />the students are recommending opening it up and creating a more community -wide <br />green team that includes staff, some Commission members, community members, <br />and business owners, to have a nice forum to discuss things like the zero -waste <br />ordinance and other things and how the community might react to those kinds of <br />things. <br />Chair Ficek thanked the students for their presentation. <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
