He stated that after a <br />lengthy discussion and minor revisions, it was approved by a vote of 4-2 with one <br />Councilmember absent. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Max questioned if the Board needed to approve the work plan again since it <br />was changed. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson replied that they would not need to do that, especially <br />since the change was merely a formatting issue. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Max stated that he would like to hear the feedback from the group on this <br />Issue. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz questioned if this comes up with other Boards in the City. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson replied that the other Boards respond to requests, such as <br />land development or park dedication fees. He advised that this Board is the only one that is <br />required to get formal approval of their work plan by the Council. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz stated that he was surprised to see the minutes from the Council meeting <br />and hear that the work plan was mentioned in a newspaper article. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that this is a different Council than when the Board <br />was created and that the Council as a whole seems to favor the education component of the work <br />plan, there are some differing opinions on other focuses of the Board. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board /February 4, 2008 <br />Page 2 of6 <br />
