4. Communications Items
The Roseville Home and Garden Fair is Saturday, February 25; and Duane Schwartz asked which members could attend and man the Public Works booth. Member Willenbring said he could be there at some point. Member Wilke said they could discuss who would attend later in the evening. Page 1 of 5 Spring clean-up day will be Saturday, April 30.
Applications for various city commissions are being solicited.
The Clean Water Legacy Act is being considered in the state legislature. It would affect Roseville residents as it would require a fee on sanitary sewer bills of $36 for residents and a range of fees based on usage for commercial properties.
Member Wilke said that he was asked to attend a meeting with the state and various others to discuss the Oakcrest closing at Snelling. The State has replied that they would reconsider opening the median on a temporary basis if the City would commit to a project that would improve access to the neighborhood from the streets that border this neighborhood, other than Snelling Avenue.
5. Transit Shelter Discussion
At the January meeting, the City Council voted to go ahead with the transit shelter program so the topic is back with the Commission to recommend site locations. Transtop would like to place 20 shelters in Roseville and has submitted a list of suggested locations.
Member Willenbring thought the shelters should be the same as what they're using in St. Paul to make repairs easier, but thinks it would be good to have a Roseville logo on them.
Connie Barry, Transtop Inc., gave a little information on how they've determined possible shelter sites.
Member Wilke asked about the shelters around Rosedale since it is already a transit hub. Ms. Barry said that people wouldn't necessarily be going to the mall and the buses aren't necessarily going into the transit hub.
Member Wilke said that he thinks if the shelters in Roseville were a little different than those in other cities; it would be more aesthetically pleasing. Connie Barry said that in comparison the street signs in Roseville have the city logo but they're the same standard color as other cities. The color they've used in St. Paul is a standard color around the country. Member Willenbring thought it would be less confusing if they were the same color, people would automatically know that it was a transit shelter. Member Wilke thought that since all the streetlights on County Road C will be green, it would be more consistent if the shelters were green.
Ms. Barry said that in the current transit shelter ordinance it states the slab can only be 16' x 5' concrete slab, but the slab needs to be that big for the Page 2 of 5 shelter itself. There would have to be a sidewalk access to the shelter, which would make the slab larger. Duane Schwartz said the measurements are only for the shelter itself and wouldn't limit the sidewalk.
Duane Schwartz presented two comments received in the Engineering office. One was in favor of the shelters, and one just had a question.
Eli Sagor, 3030 Woodbridge Street, thanked the Commission for the job they were doing and said he appreciated being notified of the meeting. He said he is a transit rider several days a week and thinks it is an important part of the city and is pleased to see the proposal to add the transit shelters. He went on to say that he sometimes feels bombarded by advertisement and doesn't like it. He would hope that in the near future the City could provide the shelters without advertising.
Member Wilke asked Connie Barry of Transtop Inc. to give them an overview of what the advertising standards are for the shelters. She explained that the advertising revenue supports the whole process, and without it the shelters wouldn't exist. She said they do not put shelters in front of private residences. Duane Schwartz said there are standards for the advertising in the city ordinance.
Kevin Mules, 2646 Hamline Avenue, said that he lives on the NE comer of County Road C and Hamline and there is a proposed shelter on that corner right in front of his home. He also suggested instead of advertising putting up notices of city events or school activities.
As there were no more public comments, the Commission began discussing individual shelter sites.
Currently, there are Metro Transit shelters in Roseville, which have a different design that Transtop's would have. Member Wilke thought it would look better if all shelters in the city were the same. Schwartz said we could ask Metro Transit if the city logo could be put on their shelters so that would match the new shelters.
Member Willenbring said he drove by each site before the meeting and didn't think there would be any construction problems for any of the sites. Most are by existing bus benches.
Member Rossini wanted affirmation that there would be trash receptacles at each transit shelter. Connie Barry said there would be.
Page 3 of 5 Member Willenbring moved to send the proposed transit shelter list to Council after removing site #15 and moving site #22 to the #15 position. Member Anderson seconded.
Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Motion carried
The Commission went on to discuss the color and style of the shelters
Member Anderson moved to recommend to Council the use of Transtop's standard design and color, with the addition of the Roseville logo, for the shelters in Roseville. Member Willenbring seconded.
Member Willenbring agrees with the design and the addition of the logo, but would like the shelters painted moss green.
Ayes: 4 Nays: 1 Motion carried
6. South Owasso BIvd/Lady Slipper Park Concepts
Duane Schwartz updated the Commission on the neighborhood meeting. He said that the neighborhood seemed to like Concept #2, but there were several things from the other concepts they wanted incorporated.
Deb Bloom discussed the costs involved and the storm water impacts.
Member Wilke asked about the time frame. Bloom said the park plan would go before the Council for approval on March 14. A soils engineer will have to be consulted to come up with the rest of the plans. Other details have to be considered before designating a construction schedule, such as South Owasso Blvd being closed.
Member Willenbring said that they need to analyze the cost between closing the road during construction and keeping it open for residents.
Member Wilke said they're putting in a new railroad crossing so maybe that can be done in conjunction with other things to lessen the inconvenience.
7. Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program Annual Report
Deb Bloom discussed what has been done this past year to comply with the program.
Page 4 of 5 Member Willenbring asked if there were many septic systems in Roseville. Bloom said there are none.
Member Willenbring asked about a right to entry provision, is that for businesses or residential. Bloom said it applies to all properties.
Member Willenbring asked how many Brownfield cleaning and monitoring sites are in Roseville. Bloom said none are being monitored by the City right now.
Member Rossini asked if the City monitors sites for erosion control. Schwartz said we do.

I moved back to this neighborhood in May 2004 because of its convenience. However, that was short- lived, having to wait at the light at Snelling & C is unacceptable. As a busy single mom, time is of the essence when I need to get home. An extra 5-10 minutes is absolutely unacceptable as well. People drive past Rosedale instead with its increased traffic, being the most popular mall in the Twin Cities and it is going to be expanded as well. There is no more increased traffic into our neighborhood since there's a finite number of homes there. There won't be additional homes built there. This is obviously very - - frustrating!

Why doesn't the city buy out the entire neighborhood then the state & county could close all the roads and/or put in all commercial. Cay Hofmeister 261 8 Aldine supports C Doesn't seem fair to ask people to give up their homes. Maybe since we are being all surrounded, the City should buy out the whole neighborhood. 3ris Timm-Hughes 1779 Rose Place Supports C I still really want to be able to turn west onto Oakcrest from Snelling. I do not want to line up Oakcrest & Rose Place. What happens to the Bingo place? If access to Fairview is chosen, I want the change to align Oakcrest (commercial side).

People in the neighborhood I feel were not able to come together because they were still stuck on the Snelling access issues. Traffic is only going to increase so something will have to be done.

Mary Hopkins 2590 Wheeler E-mail response: From what have seen in the "Roseville Review" the potential "improvements" are absurd. They are absurdly expensive and would require removing homes of our 7neighbors. We do not need better access to our neighborhood; it would ruin the quiet we have. Some of us simply want the access we used to have restored, that is, opening the median crossover on I Snelling. Sandy & Keith Hug 1671 Rose Place E-mail response: My husband and I may be in the minority on this issue, but we feel the closure of the median was a wise decision. I agree that we may be inconvenienced at times when entering or exiting our neighborhood now; however, I feel safer using alternative routes instead. Please continue to put SAFETY

Item Description: Proposed Metro Transit Route ReductionsIElimination
Metro Transit recently released proposed transit reductions and fare increases due to budget shortfalls. We are attaching information the City received regarding the proposed reductions. Several routes in Roseville are proposed to be eliminated. Hearings will be held in April on the proposed changes. A discussion on the impacts, as well as your direction on your position regarding these changes is sought at this time.
Recommended Action:
At the discretion of the commission Tuesday, March 22,2005
Mayor:
We are plotting this information on a Roseville -only map to show the affected routes. Plus, we are trying to get a handle on whether Roseville is disproportionately affected compared to other cities and regions.

March 16, 2005
Mayor Craig Klausing City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55 113-1 899
Dear Mayor Klausing:
As you may have read in the news media this week, the regional transit system faces a $60 million budget challenge over the next two-year funding cycle. This has prompted the Metropolitan Council to develop a broad package of solutions twoof which, unfortunately, are a fare increase and service reductions.
I have enclosed details that might be of interest to you, your Council and your city staff. I also would be pleased to have a Metro Transit staff member visit with your staff to talk thl-ough the changes as they impact your citizens. Please call Arlene McCarthy, our director of service development, if you would find that of value. I-Ier number is 612-349-7766.
Please be aware that the Metropolitan Council has set seven public hearings on this topic for mid-April, and the Council has activated a number of other feedback mechanisms so that citizens unable to attend a public meeting can have their voices heard.
If the Metropolitan Council approves any changes during its meeting in late May, service reductions would take place in September and December and a fare increase would be implemented July 1''.
Of course, we wish we did not have to propose these difficult adjustments in a time when the region need to expand its resources in the fight against congestion. The budget problem - prompted largely by disappointing revenue forecasts from our major funding source, the motor vehicle sales tax money - with rising fuel costs and other inflationary pressures leaves us without good alteinatives.
Thank you for your support of public transportation

~. A serious variance between projected revenues and expenditures is anticipated for the upcoming state biennium, arising primarily from a combination of lower than previously projected Motor Vehicle Sales Tax (MVST) revenues and much higher than projected fuel and health insurance costs. Staff has developed a combination of measured and balanced adjustments for revenue enhancements, service adjustments, efficiencies, and cost containment to address this shortfall with the minimum of possible impacts to the riding public and the region as a whole. Council policy as well as state and federal guidelines require public hearings for the purpose of input prior to implementation of any significant fare increase or service adjustment by the public transit system. The dates and locations of these hearings, and other channels for public input, have already been approved by the Metropolitan Council in order to expedite the timing of any necessaly actions that may be ultimately adopted. With the public hearings scheduled for April 12-20, 2005, a completed package of potential changes subject to public input must be available no later than April 2, 2005. The public comment period remains open until 10 days after the final hearing, at which time staff will assess the input and bring modifications to the proposals back to the Council for final consideration in May, 2005. Summaries of the potential changes will be presented at the March 14,2005, Transportation Committee. Overview and Funding Analysis of the latest regional budgeted transit operation costs versus projected revenues from all sources suggests a variance of approximately $60 million for the biennium or roughly 10% of the overall budget, assuming the status quo in fares and service levels. The Metropolitan Council's transit operations account for about $55 million of the total amount. This includes Metro Transit, Metro Mobility, cont~actedtransit operations, and support for community based operations. The balance, $5 million, affects the suburban opt-out transit systems.

NEWS RELEASE
Council Committee Okays Release of Transit Fare, Service Adjustments for Public Hearing
ST. PAUL - (March 14) -- The transportation committee of the Metropolitan Council today released for public consideration proposed changes to transit fares and service levels - part of broader package of solutions to cope with a projected funding gap over the next two years.
The fare and service proposal will be considered by the full Metropolitan Council on March 23 and then be discussed at public hearings in April. The Council is scheduled to take final action in mid-May. The fare increase, if approved, would be implemented on luly 1, and service adjustments discussed at the public hearings would, if approved, take place in September and in December.
The proposal, which includes a 25-cent across-the-board fare increase for Metro Transit and other regular-route providers, responds to a $60 million funding challenge prompted by rising fuel and health care costs as well as disappointing revenues from motor vehicle sales taxes - a major source of transit funding.
"To address the problem, the Council must reduce costs, improve efficiency and raise revenue," said Committee Chair Mary Hill Smith. 'In addition to the other measures we are taking, this means asking customers to pay more, just as they're doing at the gas pump. It also means the amount of transit service must be examined and routes reprioritized in light of the funding challenge. Even though we have not had a systemwide fare increase for four years, we as Council members recognize how difficult and challenging these changes will be for our customers."

Stored Value Cards Metropolitan Council. News Release - Council Committee okays release ot transit tare, se... Page 2 ot 4
Under the proposal, Stored Value Cards will remain available in $10, $20 and $40 amounts, each with a 10% bonus amount. The $40 card's ride value will decrease from $45 to $44.
Seniors/Youth/Persons with Disabilities
Fares for seniors, youth and persons with disabilities riding regular-route transit are unchanged under the proposal. However, fares are projected to increase for those who ride Metro Mobility and other specialized services for persons with disabilities. Here is the proposal.
Metro Mobility / ADA Service
Even with the proposed increase, fares for Metro MobilityIADA customers remain 50 cents lower per ride than the maximum permitted under federal guidelines.
The total fare increase proposal for buses, trains and Metro MobilityIADA services is projected to raise about $6 million annually in revenue and result in an estimated loss of 1.7 million rides. The last across- the-board fare increase was in 2001; rush-hour express fares were increased 25 cents in 2003.
Service Changes
Some 70 percent of Metro Transit routes and Metropolitan Council regional routes operating on weekdays would be impacted in some fashion by a proposed 10 percent reduction of regular-route service. The reductions will result in a 3.7 percent ridership decline and would save $15.9 million in annualized service costs. Under the proposal, 28 weekday routes would be eliminated, 78 weekday routes would be reduced and 47 would be unchanged.
"In assembling the service plan, we asked our staff to focus on under-performing routes, route segments and trips in order to impact the fewest customers possible. We also sought to retain an emphasis on transit's role in relieving rush-hour congestion and to make adjustments in a way that preserves the integrity of the system and permits growth when resources are available," Hill Smith said.
A route-by-route listing of proposed weekday, Saturday and Sunday service changes is available at www.metrocouncil.org/planning/transpo~ation/2005/routechangcs.pdf
Metro Mobility and other ADA services
The proposal calls for service to be available within one mile of a regular bus route that provides, primarily, all-day, fixed-route service. This service area remains well within federal guidelines, which requires service be delivered only within 3/a-mile of a regular bus route.

Richfield
Winter Ticketingrrowing Policy
What is the City's Ticketing and Towing Policy? According to City ordinance, a vehicle parked on a street after a snowfall of two inches or more may be issued a violation ticket and towed immediately. If the vehicle is towed there will be a charge for towing and storage. The time used to tag and tow illegally parked vehicles and re-plow a street where a towed vehicle sat, is wasted time and money. As a taxpayer, that time is your money, so please help make the best use of it, and have a safe winter season. Speak with neighbors, landlords or friends to make arrangements for parking your vehicles off the street during and following snowfalls of two inches or more. North Saint Paul -- Page 2 of 4
