Environmental Policy Board (EPB) 5. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 05/07/2012 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Title: <br />Recap of Environmental Expo Event <br />Background: <br />As the Board knows, the Environmental Expo event was held April 28. The event included twenty -five (25) <br />exhibitors and offered a wide array of information ranging from recycling to sustainable products to live raptors, <br />reptiles and chicks. There were also several hands -on activities to further engage the attendees. Feedback that Staff <br />has received from various exhibitors was that the event was well attended and provided them with an excellent <br />opportunity to discuss their organization, purpose and /or products with folks. <br />Approximately twenty (20) surveys were completed by attendees. The common themes of the surveys were an <br />interest in seeing expansion of biking /walking trails, more recreation programing /activities, continued development <br />of The COR, and preservation /planting of trees. <br />After a slow start, the pre -order tree sale program picked up in sales. Ultimately, just shy of sixty (60) trees were <br />sold. Staff received multiple compliments regarding the size and quality of the trees as they were picked up. <br />Staff has put together a summary of the two expo events and distributed it to both QCTV and the Anoka Union for <br />follow up pieces. The summary is attached. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff believes that while the event is still relatively fresh in people's minds, it would be good to review and discuss <br />the event and possibilities for next year. <br />EPB Action: <br />Provide feedback to Staff on the event and thoughts for next year. <br />Summary of Expo Events <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson (Originator) Chris Anderson 05/03/2012 10:03 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 05/01/2012 02:15 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 05/03/2012 <br />
