Member Vanderwall moved to approve the minutes of the October 23, <br />2007, meeting of the Public Works, Environment and Transportation <br />Commission. Member Neprash seconded. <br />Ayes: 4 <br />Nays: 0 <br />Abstained: 0 <br />Motion carried <br />4. Communication Items <br />Duane Schwartz updated the Commission on Twin Lakes and the city leaf <br />program. <br />Deb Bloom updated the Commission on the sewer lining project. Chair <br />DeBenedet asked how private lines are handled during this process. Ms. <br />Bloom said that residents are notified if any problems are observed in their <br />service. <br />Member Neprash asked about leaf pickup and said that his neighborhood <br />had been the first on the pickup list this year and since the leaves fell late <br />there are still many leaves in the streets. He asked if there had been <br />thought given to returning to the area to pick up the remaining leaves.

However, the city <br />makes every effort to keep streets as clean as possible so if there is a dirty <br />street, Public Works would like to be notified of it. Member Willenbring <br />said that the city can't be responsible for picking up every single leaf and <br />that residents have to be responsible for something. Chair DeBenedet said <br />the Commission has discussed water quality before and maybe it should <br />be a topic again in the near future. Member Willenbring requested that a <br />notice be put in the city newspaper about helping to keep the gutters clean. <br />Ms. Bloom mentioned the door hangers that were in development and that <br />they could be used in the spring to educate people on this subject. <br />Mr. Schwartz updated the Commission on recent recommendations they <br />made: <br />The "Welcome to Roseville" banners were discussed by the City Council. <br />They are supportive, but current city code doesn't support it. The City <br />Attorney is currently working to iron out the details. <br />The Pathway Committee recommendation was also supported by the City <br />Council, and currently staff is trying to find people to serve on the <br />committee and to prepare a formal recommendation for a charge to that <br />group. Member Willenbring mentioned that the idea was to have a finite <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
