DRAFT Special City Council Work Plan Meeting 1 Monday, February 7,2011 Page 18 Mayor Roe noted the need for sidewalks and/or pathways to be incorporated into development/redevelopment activities for multi-family projects (e.g. Sienna Green) where there were short gaps but a large number of residents needing to access various transit options; and that this item needed to tie into the City's zon- ing code as well as pathway planning. Councilmember Willmus noted, and Councilmembers concurred with, the need to address maintenance aspects as part of that discussion. Additional discussion included current and potential redesign of maintenance of sidewalks and pathways (e.g. clearing snow) for residential and commercial areas. Mayor Roe opined that it made sense to have multi-family residential units do their own snow removal, since they needed to have snow removed from their parking lots anyway. NE Corridor Discussions with the Metropolitan Council Mayor Roe noted the need for additional advocacy with legislators for connecting with the Metropolitan Council and increased efforts to recruit Roseville back into regional transportation lobbying efforts. Mayor Roe noted that the southwest metropolitan area received substantial attention based on their population density; however, there was a significant need in this area, and discussions were indicated for the City Council in their budgets for such resources. Public Works Director Schwartz advised that it took regional efforts to move those projects forward. Mr. Schwarz noted that there would be additional oppor- tunities for additional service and access moving forward now that the Central Corridor was getting underway. Councilmember Johnson requested that this item be included on the February 14, 2011 regular meeting agenda to allow Councilmember Pust the opportunity for additional comment. Geothermal Technology Councilmember Johnson requested that this item be included on a future agenda to initiate an update of the original study to move forward. Mayor Roe noted the need to incorporate those numbers into the CIP process. Imagine Roseville 2025 Initiative Mayor Roe advised that he would pursue this with staff for ideas on how to rein- vigorate this community process and continued citizen involvement; and may re- turn with recommendations for a future agenda item.
