<br />CASE #3 <br /> <br />RAMSEY ENVIRONMENTAL EXPO <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />For many years, the Commission has been participating in the Environmental Expo by staffing a <br />booth providing general park information. to the public. The purpose of this case is to identify <br />which Commissioners may be available for the April 19th, event. Enclosed with this case is the <br />summary of the event that was published in the Ramsey Resident. This is the 31 st year the city is <br />holding the tree sale/expo - which is quite unique for a community. This will however, be the <br />first year that the Expo and Tree Sale will be held at the new Municipal Center. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation Commission's table will be positioned next to the Environmental <br />Policy Board - which also provides an opportunity to network on natural resource issues in <br />Ramsey. New to the Expo for 2008 will be two different working watershed models as well as <br />the 'Tree House of Horrors', which are examples of many different woody plant problems (both <br />biological and human caused), in a hands-on format. In keeping with past years, staff will have <br />various materials and resources relating to parks for the Commission's table that areof public <br />interest. <br /> <br />The following are suggested times that may be considered to ensure coverage for the <br />Commission staffing: <br /> <br />8:30 A.M to 10:00 A.M. <br /> <br />10:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion. <br /> <br />P &R: 03/13/08 <br />
