Environmental Policy Board (EPB) Date: 04/04/2011 By: Chris Anderson Community Development Title: 2011 Work Plan Observations: Information Item #: 5. 2. Background: As outlined in City Code, the primary objective of the Environmental Policy Board is to review, consider, initiate and recommend to the City Council such policies, plans or projects which will enhance and preserve the natural environment of the City. The Board's scope shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, matters of the preservation of the community forest, water quality, wetland preservation, ground water protection, control of soil erosion and air, noise and light pollution. The Environmental Policy Board shall prepare an annual work plan subject to the approval of the City Council. With that in mind, and based on discussions at the last several Board meetings, Staff has prepared a draft work plan for consideration. Recommendation: One item on the draft work plan is public outreach. However, nothing more specific has been discussed. Staff has amended the work plan to combine public outreach with the development of various web pages as they are very similar in nature. Staff would recommend that the Board approve the work plan and forward it to City Council for consideration. As discussed at the last meeting, the draft work plan will be presented to City Council as being effective July 1 - June 30. Adjusting the time frame of the work plan will provide adequate time for City Council to identify their annual strategic goals and allow any newly appointed members to have input on the work plan. EPB Action: Motion to approve work plan and forward it to City Council for consideration. 2011 Proposed Work Plan Attachments Form Review Inbox Reviewed By Date Chris Anderson (Originator) Chris Anderson 04/01/2011 11:56 AM Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 03/30/2011 Final Approval Date: 04/01/2011
