78 Promote Roseville Sustainable Steward program. <br />79 Continue transition to Waste Management contract. <br />80 Prepare for Ramsey County curbside organics pickup program. <br />81 Expand opportunities for recycling in parks, and at the Clean Up Day and Shredding <br />82 events. <br />83 Administer Water Efficiency and Sanitary Sewer Grant Programs. <br />84 <br />85 <br />86 Policy Objectives <br />87 It is City policy to keep City-owned infrastructure in good operating condition and to keep <br />88 systems operating in a safe condition. <br />89 <br />90 Equity Impact Summary <br />91 The proposed projects and initiatives recommended for 2026 are broken into three <br />92 categories for this summary as noted below. As individual projects and initiatives are <br />93 brought to Council, staff will complete additional Equity and Inclusion Toolkits to further <br />94 evaluate those proposed actions. <br />95 1.Existing Infrastructure (i.e. pavement and utility maintenance): projects have been <br />96 identified primarily based on their asset condition rating in an effort to maintain <br />97 existing city infrastructure to preserve and improve the quality of life for individuals <br />98 working and living in the community. Minimal impacts to nearby residents and <br />99 businesses may occur during construction, but staff will communicate and work with <br />100 those impacted to mitigate when possible. All those using the asset will benefit from <br />101 the improvements. <br />102 2.New Infrastructure/Planning (i.e. new paths, new lighting, etc.): new infrastructure <br />103 and drainage improvements are proposed based on prior planning documents like <br />104 the Pathway Master Plan or Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan. <br />105 Recognizing that underserved groups may not have engaged as much as other <br />106 groups in the public input portions of the development of these plans to identify <br />107 needs and priorities, staff will continue to review project selections with an equity <br />108 lens, review data to find gaps in needs, and seek additional outreach to impacted <br />109 property owners/tenants. No special benefit assessments are planned for 2026, <br />110 unless enhanced lighting districts are petitioned by residents. <br />111 3.Initiatives (i.e. Green To Go & Energy Action Plan implementation, Climate Equity <br />112 Action Plan development, recycling/organics/collection events, water/sewer grants): <br />113 Part of the initiative process is based on feedback from stakeholders. A number of <br />114 underserved populations may not speak English as a first language, have the ability <br />115 to provide feedback, nor have sufficient trust in government to feel comfortable <br />116 providing feedback. As a result, the benefits of initiatives and programs may <br />117 unintentionally flow to communities that provide the most feedback. We are working <br />118 to address communication inequities by expanding translation availability and <br />119 focusing outreach efforts on underserved communities. <br />120 <br />121 <br />122 Budget Implications <br />123 The estimated total work plan construction costs are $9.6 million. 2026 projects contained <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />Qbhf!7!pg!2:6 <br /> <br />
