79 Ms. Stone thought the question was if there would be resident convenience because <br />80 people do call Eureka Recycling asking when their pickup week is. She thought <br />81 there could be a little bit of increase regarding participation but not a drastic change <br />82 and it would increase the cost of the service to the residents. <br />83 <br />84 Chair Ficek thanked Ms. Stone for the presentation. <br />85 <br />86 7. Ramsey County Ditch 4 Construction Soils Study Award <br />87 Environmental Manager Johnson reviewed the Ramsey County Ditch 4 <br />88 Construction Soils Study award the City received. <br />89 or <br />90 Member Rudolph wondered if this process will be used elsewhere in the city now <br />91 that staff knows it works. <br />92 <br />93 Mr. Johnson explained the City does a lotto compost in their projects anyway. This <br />94 one was just special, and the timing just worked out in order to make all of this <br />95 work. Staff usually adds a different type of topsoil mix that is already modified with <br />96 compost. He indicated other cities have commented and asked questions on this <br />97 type of project because it can stay on a slope. <br />98 <br />99 Member Rudolph indicated she liked the volunteer aspect of this project. <br />100 <br />101 Member Mueller asked with the ground being so impacted was anything needed to <br />102 correct that before starting the project. <br />103 <br />104 Mr. Johnson explained the compost was placed directly on top of the ground <br />105 without anything being done beforehand. He reviewed other places that this <br />106 application could be used within the city for minimal maintenance. <br />107 <br />108 Chair Ficek thanked Mr. Johnson for the update. <br />109 <br />110 8. Bike Plan Update <br />111 Public Works Director Jesse Freihammer gave an update on the City's bike plan. <br />112 <br />113 Mr. Freihammer asked the Commission if there were any questions or comments <br />114 on the goals or additional goals or should the goals be changed. <br />115 <br />116 Chair Ficek explained being a part of the initial meeting he answered some of these, <br />117 so he was really looking for other people to comment. He noted the link has a survey <br />118 and interactive map where there is a sign up for updates. <br />119 <br />120 Member Fergus thought educating both bikers and car drivers and walkers was <br />121 important because he gets confused when biking on the trail. He thought it would <br />122 help if there was an effortto educate people. <br />123 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />Page 5 of 115 <br />
