Member DeBenedet asked for the information that was provided at the previous meeting. He went on to say he wasn’t sure how serious a problem this was and wondered whether the City would be requiring individual residents to also use signage, along with requiring commercial applicators to use signage. Chair Wilke suggested that there were more homeowners that applied their own pesticides than hired professionals. Member Neprash agreed that could be true and said he realized regulating homeowner application would be a nightmare. 8.Rice Creek Watershed District Proposed Rule Changes Deb Bloom presented the proposed rule changes and compared them to the rule changes from Capitol Region Watershed District. Member Fischer asked where the watershed district was in the comment process. Schwartz said they are taking informal comments for the next month and a half. Member DeBenedet said he didn’t think the memo from the watershed was well written and it didn’t answer his questions. Schwartz said he would forward additional information to commission members. Member Neprash said he thought there would be more interaction in the near future between cities and the Board of Soil and Watershed Issues on watershed issues. He said the city should think about positioning itself to be dealing with them at a future point. One such issue might be the cost benefit analysis for the application of the watershed district rules. 9.September Agenda Member Neprash suggested discussing Roseville’s invitation to the Minnesota Cities Storm Water Coalition. Chair Wilke suggested further discussion on pesticides Member Neprash suggested a possible joint meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss how their topics overlap. Deb Bloom said she would be attending the Planning Commission’s September meeting, and she could discuss with them how they wanted to handle a joint meeting. 10.Adjournment Page 4 of 4
