Further discussion included how to make Roseville fun (i.e., educational environmental opportunities throughout the community's trail system, historic markers); minimum impact design standard protocols; LEED standards; addressing any city-supported funding of development/redevelopment by their use of LEED standards; safety issues for uncontrolled crosswalks (Section S.A.S.b) and timing for those activated lights; visibility issues at the Central Park Victoria Trail crossing and unsuccessful attempts to fund it over the last 2-3 years; consideration of implementation of additional roundabouts (Section 11.A. l.a); and implementation of certain amenities considered as a standard in day-to-day operations of the department. Members requested that any future drafts include page numbers for easier reference. 8. Public Works Budget /Program Overview Mr. Schwartz provided a brief review of the 2010 Public Works Budget/Program Overview and breakdown as included in tonight's agenda packet materials, as it related to the Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process and revisions from its initial implementation in 2009, and recently-completed time spent profiles and allocation to each category. Mr. Schwartz noted that the Public Works Department, since the 1980's, had tracked those allocations through the use of 30- 40 time sheet job codes during a given day, making implementation of the BFO process easier to implement. Mr. Schwartz noted that each category and/or level had certain organizational supervision, management, budgeting, and allocated employees attributable to each. Mr. Schwartz further noted that the department is creating performance measurements in as many areas as possible, similar to the twenty (20) year tracking for the Pavement Management Program (PMP), in addition to measuring customer complaints. Mr. Schwartz spoke in support of the department's process, allowing the City Council to make decisions based on not just dollars, but actual services and programs for the department, as well as providing a better way to measure effectiveness of the City's limited resources, both financial and personnel. 10. Agenda for Next Meeting - Apri127, 2010 • Intersection Needs Improvements Discussion Member Stenlund requested scheduling a Saturday meeting for a tour of problem intersections in lieu of a regular meeting, and inviting representatives of the Roseville Citizens League (RCL), in order to actually observe problematic intersections, specifically those with the highest safety priorities. Member Gjerdingen suggested video taping the tour for public information by delayed broadcast. Chair DeBenedet suggested that the meeting be convened at City Hall, then the tour, and meeting back at City Hall to allow the public to hear the discussion on cable.
