<br />POLICY BOARD BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: <br /> <br />Review Work Session Discussion of Water Conservation Tool Box <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson presented the staff report. <br /> <br />The Board discussed some of the questions and comments that were received at the work session <br />and generally agreed that the response of the City Council was very positive. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that no one section of the tool box is truly complete, <br />as they are all in varying stages of review. The introduction, Ramsey rules, and financial <br />assistance pieces are awaiting review by Board Member Enstrom and the water use reduction <br />and outdoor options for water conservation sections are awaiting review by Board Member <br />Stodola. <br /> <br />Board Member Stodola stated that he did not have the sections that he was supposed to review. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he would resend the two sections to him. <br /> <br />Case #2: <br /> <br />2010 Work Plan <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Board Member Enstrom noted that a mountain lion or cougar had recently been spotted in <br />Champlin and wondered whether something like that would fall under the purview of the Board. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that something like restoring or creating appropriate <br />wildlife habitat might be but control of wild animals, such as the one that Board Member <br />Enstrom referred to would not. <br /> <br />Board Member Stodola stated that he opposed any specific rain gutter requirement. <br /> <br />The Board discussed various pros and cons of this type of requirement. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he had included that as a possible consideration <br />simply because it was brought up by various members over the last several months as the Board <br />was discussing the water conservation toolbox. <br /> <br />Board Member Hassett inquired of Councilmember Wise if there may be any desire for the <br />Board to look for grant opportunities to incorporate green design principals into the Town <br />Center. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wise stated that he thought that might be an appropriate topic to add to a future <br />. work session agenda. <br /> <br />Chairperson Max stated that adding that to the work plan may be too complex and time <br />consuming for this Board simply due to the fact that they only meet twelve times a year. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board / December 7,2009 <br />Page 2 of5 <br />
