<br />"<"<.;.f <br /> <br />Board Member Max advised that Nowthen Nursery was one of the first vendors to give out <br />coupons at the tree sale and have residents pick up their purchases from the nursery at a later <br />time, rather than bring all their stock to the event. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that Hostas and More have been involved in the <br />event for years and are leaning towards a similar concept. He stated that Maple Leaf <br />Landscaping would be bringing several truckloads of trees the night before the event to get setup. <br />He stated that Anoka Ramsey Farm and Garden would be bringing about 50 fruit trees to the <br />event and advised that the Anoka County Master Gardeners would also be at the event. He <br />stated that he was unsure of the quantities. that the other two nurseries would be bringing to the <br />event. <br /> <br />Board Member Freeburg questioned what time they should arrive at the Expo. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson advised that he would be at the Expo at around 6 a.m. or <br />6:30 a.m. to get things going. He explained that if the booth were setup the night before, <br />whoever is taking the first shift would not have to be to the Expo until 8 a.m. <br /> <br />Board Member Max questioned if they planned to have handouts at the booth for residents. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson advised that if the Board is planning to do so, they can <br />email the information to him and he would make copies for them. <br /> <br />Board Member Stodola advised that he did get feedback from a couple Board Members and has <br />added and subtracted some information from the water conservation ideas. He explained that <br />there is still a lot of information and the Board would need to decide what would be included and <br />presented at the Expo. He questioned what the Board wanted to do with the display board and <br />what the layout would be for the information. He stated that he would be able to get the water <br />conservation information down to one page so that people would be able to take the information <br />with them. <br /> <br />Board Member' Freeburg stated that at a past Expo the EPB had a handout for the wetland <br />information and questioned if they would be able to use that information again. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda advised that they should have the tree books available at the booth. <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski questioned if they could have a couple copies of the wetland buffer book <br />at the booth. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson advised that he had been holding off on the printing of <br />those books until the Council adopts the wetland map. He stated that they could print a copy and <br />mark draft on it so that people are aware. He advised that he did not want to print a lot of copies <br />until the map is adopted by Council, but stated that he could print the draft copy to have at the <br />booth to show residents. <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski advised that they could pull some of the information out of the book to <br />put together some dos' and don'ts' handout. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board / April 7, 2008 <br />Page 4 of9 <br />
