<br />said he thinks the MPCA does a good job of covering the city and warning <br />residents if there is a problem. Member Marasteanu said he appreciates <br />the reason behind Member Shiely bringing this up but doesn't think it's a <br />problem. Member Shiely stated that he thinks the City should ask <br />Homeland Security for a grant to do air quality testing. <br /> <br />Member Shiely went on to talk about private well contamination in <br />Roseville. He thinks the Commission should let those with wells know <br />that Ramsey County will test their water and that there should be an <br />economic incentive for residents to opt into the City's utility system. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring asked if the wells on the list were classified by what <br />they were used for, for example he has an outside well that isn't used for <br />drinking.

Staff obtained information on police activity during <br />snowfalls for the last two years. <br /> <br />Chair Wilke said he sees the high traffic streets as the problem, and he <br />feels parking should be barmed on them. <br /> <br />Schwartz said staff is looking for direction on whether the Commission <br />wants to send any recommendations to Council. <br /> <br />Member Willenbring said that there don't seem to be that many tickets <br />written during snowfalls, which means there isn't that much of a problem. <br />He thinks things should be left the way they are, with no parking bans. <br /> <br />Member Fischer asked what the initial concern was. Chair Wilke said that <br />in his neighborhood cars were left on the street when the plows went <br /> <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
