EV ready requirements are lowcost easy wins that futureproof affordable housing by requiring a EV ready space per unit and low power level two receptacles. I think that's too specific because I know we have a number of our staff are going to be looking at the EV requirements... I'd rather not have a solution that specific in here.

I was really hoping with this that I would at least get some ideas of of cost and see what's reasonable. Some of these are going to be, you know, significant costs, right? And I don't know, I have a guess based on conversations and phone calls I get about residents and what their property taxes are, the appetite for that.

I don't think we can continue to look at things like that. Um I think we have to say how much are people willing to reduce on road repairs and other things that only con um conform to a an autodriven society and that we make sure we are planning for the future and that our dollars are going to sustainability.

The one thing I wanted to say about implementation, especially annual plans, is that we really need to sync that with our budget process... because ultimately that's where those discussions about resources and and how we how we decide those uses of our of our limited resources because they are coming from the public you know how those decisions and discussions will be made.

Since we haven't had a plan, we've really been kind of picking and choosing projects opportunistically as they come up. And with this plan in place, we can really be very intentional and you know more selective about the type of work we try to do as and make sure that it's economically feasible. works with our city budget and so we're not kind of grasping at shiny objects where we can really move forward with a lot of intention and you know use our limited funding wisely.

Roseville is the only city in Ramsey County to have basically a duplicative service and have that additional option for lo uh leaves leak lo locally. Um residents can also get compost at the site. The only service the Ramsey County does not offer is compost delivery.

I still believe that it's an asset to the city to be able to have our own leaf recycling site... I'd rather spend the money that we're talking about investing in our own asset and keeping it for our Roseville residents.

I think that this is a critical piece of infrastructure for our community and I also feel like our residents want this. I feel like the compost that is created is critical for community gardens and other things in the community.

I'm going to support option D to close the leaf site. I just think this is an internal service that is a burden on our stormwater utility for every single resident in Roseville. And I think that Ramsey County offers a very sufficient alternative for our residents.

I think this is an investment that makes sense for us to make, to ensure that the site is operated appropriately, to control the use and ensure that it is for Roseville residents. I'm going to support option B.
