Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. ©® ©® Goedeke stated that the City, in the past, has been interested in working with the electrical provider to replace ovefiead power lines with underground power lines. Relocating power lines underground is a cost issue for the provider. Doherty expressed his understanding that maintenance of underground utilities is also more costly. Roger Toogood described his interest in the update of the Comp Plan's Transportation Chapter as he was involved in the Imagine Roseville 2025 (IR2025} project as the chair of the sub-committee on transportation and he is a member of the Roseville Citizens League. He stated that he was attending the SC meeting to hear the discussion about the Transportation Chapter and was willing to provide his insights from the IR2025 transportation sub-committee's work. II. Draft Parks, Open Space and Recreation Chapter The consultants explained that the Parks, Open Space and Recreation Chapter had been reviewed and discussed at the most recent Parks & Recreation Commission meeting on July 1. The P & R Commission's input was focused on modifications to the proposed goals & policies. They also requested that they have an opportunity to review and comment on the revised draft, particularly on the Pathways section that will be added to the chapter.

He feels their input consisted mainly of tweaking rather than any major changes to the proposed chapter. Goedeke expressed his hope that a future vision for community pathways will be added to this chapter and that federal funding will be pursued for developing the pathways network. Grefenberg shared that he had attended the P & R Commission meeting and felt that Radel did a great job of succinctly presenting the proposed chapter updates to the P & R Commission. He was also impressed with the P & R Commission's perspective and input. III. Draft Housing and Neighborhoods Chapter The consultants explained that the SC's review and discussion of the Housing Chapter was cut short at the previous meeting, so tonight's agenda provides additional time for the SC to provide input for this chapter. Doherty suggested that a community engagement section should be added to the Housing Chapter similar to what was added to the Land Use Chapter. Grefenberg expressed his belief that same progress was made at the last SC meeting toward adding neighborhood components to the Comp Plan. He distributed paper copies of an email memo sent to City Staff regarding the incomplete review and discussion at the June 26t'' SC meeting of the "Proposed Staff Revisions" handout. Grefenberg's memo is attached to SC meeting notes as Attachment B. He expressed his preference that all of the proposed staff revisions should be included in the draft Housing and Neighborhoods Chapter that will be submitted to the HRA for their review and discussion. His memo also proposes additional
