Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 23, 2011 Page 21 Ms. Schwartz clarified tonight's purpose in simply introducing the ordinance to the City Council; and proposed that staff return on June 13, 2011 with a final draft for adoption, along with an ordinance summary for publication. Councilmember Pust opined "it's bad, let's get rid of it." Councilmember McGehee questioned if you currently had a coal tar-based prod- uct on your driveway and put asphalt-based product over it, would it adhere or flake off more quickly. Mr. Schwartz advised that there is information on products that would help to en- capsulate the coal tar-based product; and suggested that staff include that informa- tion as part of their public education materials. Councilmember McGehee questioned if independent vendors going door-to-door to residences or businesses were licensed in Roseville. Mayor Roe clarified those vendors as applicators of driveway sealants. Mr. Schwartz responded negatively. Councilmember McGehee questioned if it was prudent to talk to the Community Development Department about future licensure of them as businesses. Mayor Roe suggested those vendors as potential licensees as well as tree trimmers as discussed earlier tonight. Councilmember McGehee noted the need to provide educational information for the public if this ordinance was adopted, providing ways for them to alleviate a situation they've inadvertently developed. Mr. Neprash recommended that the City consult with area watershed districts to seek their cooperation in educating the public, and perhaps considering some funding assistance. Mr. Schwartz advised that out of three (3) stormwater ponds recently excavated, two (2) of those had been contaminated. Mr. Schwartz noted that it was fortunate for the City, cost-wise, that the one that was not contaminated was a Roseville project, and the other ones were watershed projects. Mayor Roe questioned if those ponds dredged of the contaminated material were required to be hauled to a special landfill with additional costs incurred; to which Mr. Schwartz responded affirmatively.
