3.Approval of November meeting minutes Member Willenbring moved to approve the minutes of November 23, 2004, of the Public Works/Transportation Commission. Member Rossini seconded. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Motion carried 4.Communications Items Duane Schwartz talked about term limits on Commission members. The Council will be asked to approve new terms for members shortly after the first of the year. The current terms of Joe Rossini & Doug Wilke expire in 2005, and they are both eligible for reappointment. Deb Bloom talked about the Highway 280 reconstruction project. The project is being postponed until 2009. The Goodwill Building will be torn down starting in January. The Larpenteur Avenue bridge needs updating. Member Wilke asked if they couldn’t just go ahead with the County Road B part of the project alone right now. Bloom said they could perform maintenance now but then they wouldn’t get as much money for the whole project. Member Rossini asked if there was a good chance of increased funds in 2009. Bloom said she thinks the project will be well funded. Schwartz said he wanted to emphasize the struggle for funding right now. There isn’t a lot of money available so a lot of projects are being backed up. Mn/DOT, Ramsey County, and Metro Transit have been invited to the January 24 City Council Work Session. Schwartz asked Bloom to discuss the Rosedale expansion and the new Target store. 5.Sanitary Sewer Inflow/Infiltration Study (Continued) Duane Schwartz introduced the topic and explained that at this stage what they wanted to do was give an overview of a proposed program that would enable Roseville to find their problems. Deb Bloom made the presentation of different options that could be used in this situation. Member Rossini suggested that the Fire Department be used to do some of the inspections. Schwartz said another way would be when a water meter is replaced. Bloom said they could also work with building inspections on new homes and permits. Page 2 of 5
