Environmental Policy Board (EPB) 5. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 04/02/2012 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Title: <br />Environmental Expo Event <br />Background: <br />The intent of this case is to provide the Board with a final update regarding status of the Environmental Expo. As <br />of the writing of this case, there are fifteen (15) exhibitors that have been confirmed for the expo event (as shown <br />on the attached exhibit). Staff has also secured a group that will conduct concessions throughout the event as well. <br />As indicated on the attached exhibit, there are a handful of organizations that have been contacted but never <br />responded and at this point, they are essentially being considered as not attending. Tree sales have been a bit slow, <br />with only around fifteen (15) trees sold thus far. As the date of the event gets nearer, Staff will be looking at <br />the overall order and trying to adjust it accordingly with the nursery. Similar to last year, Staff will have seedlings <br />available for attendees of the event also. <br />Staff has been unable to secure an alternate to lead a bird walk or walks and so that component, unfortunately, will <br />not be included this year. However, there is a potential for a gardening demonstration and/or tips that could be on <br />site during the event. This is something that is being explored and, if it comes together in time, could still be <br />promoted on the postcard mailer that will reach mailboxes a week or two before the expo event. <br />Staff has found some hands on activities that may be of interest to kids attending the event. Examples are attached. <br />These could be made available as a handout if the Board would like. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the Board finalize details for its' booth. <br />EPB Action: <br />Based on discussion. <br />Exhibitor List <br />Great Homed Owl Example <br />Bald Eagle Example <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson (Originator) Chris Anderson 03/29/2012 04:03 PM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 03/29/2012 02:35 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 03/29/2012 <br />
