<br />CASE #7 <br /> <br />RAMSEY'S ENVIRONMENTAL EXPO <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Parks Supervisor <br />& Chris Anderson, Environmental Coordinator <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 25th, event. Enclosed with this case is the <br />summary of the event that was published in the Ramsey Resident. This is the 32nd year the City is <br />holding the tree sale/expo - which is quite unique for a community. This will be the second year <br />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 are of 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 AM to 10:00 AM. <br /> <br />10:00 AM. to 12:00 P.M. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public W orks/Principal City Engineer <br /> <br />Copies to: <br />Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />P & R: 3/12/09 <br />
