<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Board Member Max asked Councilmember Strommen what she felt the City Council consensus <br />might be about the request for an increased budget. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated she could not speak for the entire City Council, but <br />acknowledged that the Landfill Tipping Fee Fund is a pretty healthy fund. She stated this <br />request is consistent with the purpose of the fund. She stated an argument could be made that if <br />the project is approximately 80-90 percent (80%-90%) complete, it would not make sense to <br />waste the investment. She stated it wouldn't be a hard sell. She stated that if there were no fund <br />to pull this from, it would be a lot harder for the request to be approved. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that if the 90 percent (90%) has accomplished the expected goals, he <br />felt it would most likely be approved. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated that it speaks well for Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc. <br />that they were actually able to complete more than they thought, within the quoted amount of <br />their initial request. <br /> <br />Board Member Hustvedt stated that he will continue to work on the Guidebook and bring a <br />rough version to the next meeting. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz asked if there was a completion date set for the Guidebook. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated the completion date will revolve around the final ground-truthing <br />and inventory completion. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen asked Coordinator Anderson if a walk-on case could be presented to <br />the City Council on August 8, 2006 if a dollar amount could be determined since the Finance <br />Committee will be at the City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Coordinator Anderson stated that he would try and do a walk-on case for the City Council <br />Agenda if he had the information the first thing in the morning so he could run it by Community <br />Development Director Pat Trudgeon. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen stated she would be amenable to that. <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski passed around a Wetlands Do's and Don'ts handout for EPB members to <br />read and comment on. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda asked for comments to be sent back to Board Member Sibilski or Board <br />Member Hustvedt. <br /> <br />Coordinator Anderson asked Board Member Hustvedt if he would provide him with copies of <br />finished documents so all the EPB members could edit or make comments, then schedule as an <br />agenda item for an EPB meeting. Coordinator Anderson was assured by Board Member <br />Hustvedt that he would make certain all members ofthe EPB receive a copy for review. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board!
