Minutes of 8/27/07 Regular City Council Meeting Page 12 Councilmember Kough questioned if this was the first biofiltration system installation in Roseville and if the City would be responsible for the cost of maintenance. Mr. Schwartz responded affirmatively to both of Councilmember Kough's questions; advising that since there was a public improve- ment contract constructing a public road, it was typical City policy to provide long-term maintenance to ensure public infrastructure re- mained viable over the long-term. Councilmember Pust questioned Mr. Schwartz on the soil types ad- dressed in Mr. Thatcher's letter, and discrepancies between informa- tion provided by Mr. Thatcher and that provided by staff on the soil types. Councilmember Pust confirmed with Mr. Schwartz that certain soil testing was required in light of the proposed biofiltration system, that soil testing had been done, and staff was analyzing them. Mr. Schwartz opined that, while he did not have the soil borings with him tonight, he would be surprised if they were type B in that area. Mr. Schwartz advised that two (2) minimum soil borings were re- quired for the site, and were being analyzed. Mr. Schwartz further noted that sizing of the infiltration basins was a design issue. Mayor Klausing questioned staff on Mr. Boryczka's allegation that by approving the grading plan, the City was approving everything on it. Councilmember Roe noted that the City Council was not being asked to approve the grading plan tonight, but had been provided an exam- ple included in the public improvement contract, with five (5) condi- tions as laid .out in the staff report, page 4, with easements and a num- ber of elements that were a staff function during the construction process. Mayor Klausing sought staff comment on Mr. Boryczka's expressed concern about his interpreted inconsistencies between the staff report findings, Section 4.9c (i.e., storm water management report) and summary of results (i.e., direction of flow, existing discharge, storm events) and no increase in storm water runoff.
