Communication Items Environmental Door Hangers Deb Bloom presented three door hangers that staff had created. Member Vanderwall asked that the door hangers be available in city hall as handouts. Member Neprash said the one on trash in the storm sewer wasn't clear enough and should have better graphics and that it should include a directive to sweep your driveway instead of washing debris into the street. Ms. Bloom said she was trying to emphasize the city code, but she would take the suggestions under advisement. Chair DeBenedet thought the reference to paint disposal should be pulled off that same door hanger and set off separately with disposal site information. Item Out of Order 6. Eureka Recycling Annual Report Since Eureka Recycling representatives were waiting in the audience, Chair DeBenedet decided to address his item at this time. Alex Danovitch and Chris Goodwin from Eureka Recycling presented their yearly report to the Commission. There has been a 7% increase in the amount of recycling in Roseville in the last year. Member Neprash asked how the City's share of the recycling profits was used in the budget. Mr. Pratt said it goes back into the recycling fund and has allowed recycling rates to remain the same even though pickup was increased to once a week. The fund also paid for recycling containers in parks, as well as other recycling related items. Communication Items (Continued) Comprehensive Plan Update Duane Schwartz informed the Commission of a Comprehensive Plan Update Open House being held at City Hall on Thursday, March 27 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Chair DeBenedet commented that the process has been going well so far although it's challenging and there's a lot of ground to cover. Public participation has been a concern of those involved. Watermain Lining Proiect Mr. Schwartz updated the Commission on the progress of this project.
