Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Ihlan; Pust; Roe; and Klausing. Nays: None. a. Joint Meeting with Public Works, Environment and Transportation (PWET) Commission PWET Commission members present included Chair Jim DeBenedet; and Com- missioners Joan Felice; Steve Gjerdingen; Duane Stenlund. Member Jan Van- derwall was unable to attend but sent his regrets. Chair DeBenedet reviewed projects they'd reviewed or accomplishments over the last year, including the Rice Street and Highway 36 Interchange Design; Illicit Discharge Ordinance; Annual Storm Water Report and Public Meeting; Annual Recycling Report; and Study of Organized Waste Collection. PWET Commissioners sought clarity from the City Council on their charge to the Commission for pending projects and/or issues, including Inflow/Infiltration; MS4 Storm Water Permit Requirements; Water Quality Improvements; Complete Streets/Low Impact Development; Pathways and Trails; Improving Transit Op- tions for Roseville; Conservation Water Rate Effectiveness; and Land Use/Development Review. Mayor Klausing thanked Commissioners for their great work, admitting his origi- nal skepticism in the need for this advisory commission; however, he recognized the valuable asset they had become and the complex issues they'd tackled for the community. Mayor Klausing expressed his hesitation in involving the Commis- sion in the land use review process, questioning if the process itself would be- come too fragmented; and sought clarification from members as to their rationale for involvement and topics of interest to the PWET Commission. Chair DeBenedet advised that the main area of concern for the Commission was related to stormwater management issues, with several of its members having in- terest in and experience with those issues; and an area having significant city- wide and regional issues for land development but not fully realized by the gener- al public and/or those on the Planning Commission or Community Development areas. Chair DeBenedet suggested that the PWET Commission could provide ad- ditional input for staff in support of alternate and emerging technologies in this field.
