Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he believed a work session <br />was more appropriate for discussion of the work plan and any possible brainstorming that may <br />occur with City Council rather than at a formal meeting. He stated that it could probably be <br />added to Council Business during a regular meeting if the Board wished. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Max, Board Members Enstrom, Riley- Daniels, Bentz, <br />Hassett and Carlson. Voting No: None. Absent: Board Member Stodola. <br />Case #3 2011 Environmental Expo & Tree Sale <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson presented the staff report. <br />Chairperson Max stated that he had Master Naturalists lined up to staff a booth. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson requested that Chairperson Max fill out <br />a reservation form for the Master Naturalists so that he can account for them when determining <br />the layout of exhibitors. <br />Chairperson Max asked Board Member Enstrom if he had any success with the John Deere <br />distributor with regard to attending the event. <br />Board Member Enstrom stated that he has not been able to get confirmation yet and is uncertain <br />at this point if they are interested in participating or not. <br />Board Member Hassett inquired when the planning for this event started. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that planning really didn't begin <br />until January because with the budget concerns, it wasn't certain that there would be funding for <br />the expo until the budget was formally approved. <br />Board Member Hassett expressed a desire to begin planning for the 2012 event much earlier and <br />to possibly look at splitting the expo and tree sale into two separate events. <br />Board Member Riley- Daniels inquired if the event name should be changed from Environmental <br />Expo to Green or Eco or something similar as that may be more marketable and inviting to the <br />public. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that any name change would <br />have to be for future events as all the marketing for this event identifies it as Environmental <br />Expo. <br />Board Member Riley- Daniels requested to have any photos of past Arbor Day plantings or <br />photos of Ramsey in general sent to her so that she can develop some sort of montage for the <br />Board's booth. <br />Board Member Carlson stated that she wouldn't be able to make it to the expo until about 12pm <br />because she's already committed to volunteering elsewhere that morning. <br />Environmental Policy Board / April 4, 2011 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
