bring up an agenda item it should be brought before the Commission and <br />then voted on to see if it was something the Commission wanted to <br />discuss. <br /> <br /> Chair Wilke gave Member Shiely five minutes for each of the items he <br />wanted to discuss. Member Shiely said he didn’t agree with the five <br />minute time limit. <br /> <br /> - Status of Pedestrian Crossings <br /> <br /> Member Shiely said he did another physical inventory of all the pedestrian <br />crosswalks in the city. He has done this in April, August and September; <br />and he said the crossing at McCarrons Lake is still not functioning. He <br />asked Duane Schwartz to recount conversations he’s had with Ramsey <br />County. Schwartz said he had spoken with them as recently as today and <br />they had said they would get it up and running or remove it if the <br />equipment is not repairable. <br /> <br /> - Signage <br /> <br /> Member Shiely spoke on the topic of signage in the city from the July <br />meeting. He said there was a concurrence of the Commission to find out <br />what the cost for dual signage was. He said we should also ask the County <br />what their cost would be. Schwartz said the County’s policy is to only <br />sign in the direction of oncoming traffic. The City needs to provide <br />additional signage, which the County is willing to install. Member Shiely <br />said he’s only talking about mid-block signage. He went on to list specific <br />problems he saw with signage in the city. He said the County isn’t in <br />compliance with Mn/DOT specifications. <br /> <br /> Schwartz said he’s unsure what Member Shiely is asking since the <br />Commission had recommended that funding be requested for certain <br />changes in signage and crosswalks and that was included in the budget <br />request for 2006. The Council has not yet made any final decisions on the <br />budget so no further action can be taken at this time. Regarding some <br />maintenance issues, the Street Department has to prioritize what they do <br />every day and non-emergency problems get fixed as time allows. <br />Schwartz went on to say the County has said they will not be able to <br />repaint all their crosswalks this year because of funding issues. They are <br />going to make some policy decisions this winter as to which crosswalks <br />they will be maintaining. <br /> <br /> - Xcel Energy Audit <br /> <br /> Duane Schwartz said that he’s tried to contact the account manager from <br />Xcel energy to discuss the value of an audit of Roseville’s facilities. <br />Schwartz repeated what he’s said in the past that supervisors routinely <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />
