<br />CASE # 1 <br /> <br />Presentation of Feasibility Study Results <br />By: Chris Anderson, Environmental Coordinator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In January of2008, the Environmental Policy Board requested City Council to adopt a resolution <br />of support to seek technical assistance with researching the feasibility of and funding options to <br />protect natural areas and open space. The motion for approval of said resolution failed. During <br />that discussion, members of Council suggested that there is an established process to place a <br />question of this nature on the ballot without Council involvement (i.e. obtaining signatures <br />through a petition). After conferring with the City Attorney, petitioning to add a general <br />obligation bond referendum to the ballot is not a viable option according the City's Charter. <br /> <br />As a result, a private citizen's group contacted EOS to inquire about having the feasibility study <br />completed on their behalf. That request was approved and the feasibility study was recently <br />completed by TPL (May, 2008). The citizen's group would like to present the results of the <br />study tothe.Environmental Policy Board for consideration. The feasibility study is attached. <br /> <br />EPB Action <br /> <br />Based on discussion. <br /> <br />EPB: 6/17/08 <br />
