Member Luongo asked what the Ordinance says that is referenced in the crossed out part (ORD.1313,12.6.2004). Mr. Freihammer explained all of section 206 is what the existing public works is. He thought the ordinance is just referencing them working with other agencies. He agreed that is kind of inherent with the job and could be listed but the City, as a whole, is always working with outside agencies. Chair Ficek explained if the Commission went this route he assumed it would reference some ordinances once finalized. Mr. Freihammer indicated that was correct. He indicated if the Commission recommended something to the City Council, the Council would more than likely have to amend Chapter 206 as an Ordinance change. Member Misra indicated she liked it as well. She thought what was still valuable to keep and helpful for the Commission is to have some sort of language that connects the Commission with federal, state, county, and regional entities because so much of what the Commission does is connected to other bodies and it is not really a Roseville decision. It almost always involves some other entity. She thought that language is valuable to keep a highlight on the fact that the Commission needs to look beyond just Roseville borders, especially when it comes to environment, transportation and those sort of things, but environment in particular is not local, it is very much broader than that. Member Hodder agreed. He liked the overall intent of this as well and he thought Member Misra's point is very well taken. He would support leaving the crossed - out point in somewhere in this. Member Cicha indicated he liked the word collaborate that was used in C and D. His suggestion would be instead of "maintain an interest in and an understanding of," he would change it to "Collaborate with federal, state, county, regional, and other public works, environmental, and transportation services that impact City services." He thought that was a good way of summing up how the Commission interacts with those organizations. He liked the additions of the new C, D, and E and felt these were appropriate and thought making a recommendation to the City Council today would also be appropriate. It is a recommendation, and the Council will look at it and make their own edits as well. He thought this is a good framework to hand the Council. The Commission concurred. Chair Ficek summarized discussion of the Council. He thought that new Item C could read: "Collaborate with City staff, and federal, state, county, regional, other public works, as needed...".
