Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 11, 2010 Page 10 Councilmember Ihlan spoke in support of the proposed amendments to clarify what is already prohibited under the City's Industrial Zoning Code. For the record, Councilmember Ihlan provided her written comments, attached hereto and made a part thereof, related to the asphalt plant as well as the action current- ly before the City Council. Johnson moved, Klausing seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1397 (Attach ment C) entitled, "An Ordinance Amending Roseville City Code, Title 10, Sec- tion 1007, to Prohibit Certain Uses in Industrial Districts." Mr. Bartholdi noted that this would require a 3/0 vote, as it was an ordinance and required a majority vote of all of the members of the City Council, not just those members present. Roll Call Ayes: Johnson; Ihlan; and Klausing. Nays: None. 10. Presentations a. Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Management Plan Presentation Parks and Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke provided an update and presented the EAB Management Plan, including the nine components of the Plan and a Management approach: Inventory; Management Options; Ordinance; Wood Han- dling; Planting; Public Outreach Education; Training; Monitoring; and Budget- ing. Discussion among staff and Councilmembers included enforcement of quaran- tines; proposed 2011 budgeting of $100,000 and subsequent funding for a revolv- ing fund as needed; with the initial 2011 funding used to purchase equipment and staff training to allow staff to perform injections for treating trees, and some re- moval of dead and /or poor Ash trees; with Mr. Brokke advising that staff was not anticipating treatment of boulevard Ash trees, but their removal and replacement. Additional discussion included the City's tree inventory and statistics from other communities on the effectiveness of their treatments, as well as comparable Ash tree inventories and budget impacts to those communities, with that information currently unavailable; and impacts of winter conditions on EAB spread. Mr. Brokke noted that the City had approximately 2,000 Ash trees, with 150 -200 identified as in poor condition and needing removal. Councilmember Johnson expressed concerns with availability of budget funds and resources.
