Motion by Board Member Hiatt and seconded by Board Member Lewis to approve the regular <br />meeting minutes dated April 2, 2012. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Max, Board Members Bentz, Stodola, Enstrom, Lewis, <br />Valentine and Hiatt. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />POLICY BOARD BUSINESS <br />Case #1: Recap of Environmental Expo Event <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson presented the staff report. <br />Board Members Stodola and Lewis stepped out of the meeting to be sworn in at 6:45pm. <br />Board Member Enstrom stated that he is opposed to having any type of tree sale if it does not <br />include having trees on site so that people can see them before buying them. He would never <br />buy a tree without seeing it first. <br />Board Members Stodola and Lewis returned to the meeting at 6:50pm. <br />Chairperson Max stated that he doesn't see it as a real problem; in fact, he has bought trees <br />online previously and would not hesitate to do so again. <br />Board Member Lewis suggested that maybe vendors could use coupons instead of bringing all <br />their material to the event. They could sell coupons that customers could then redeem at their <br />site and have the ability to pick their tree out themselves. <br />Board Member Lewis stated that after having been a part of the Environmental Expo event, he <br />sees a tremendous opportunity and benefit if this event were combined with the Business Expo. <br />Board Member Lewis stated that he believes there should be more commitment from the Board <br />to assist with this event in the future. <br />Chairperson Max stated he thought there was a very good turnout, although, he thought there <br />may have been fewer young children at this year's event than past years. <br />Board Member Valentine stated that he thought there was a lot of energy and interaction with the <br />exhibitors but did think that a keynote speaker would have been beneficial. <br />Board Member Stodola stated that he was pleasantly surprised by the turnout; it seemed like a <br />better turnout than last year when there was a keynote speaker. <br />Board Member Enstrom stated that he believed the good turnout was simply due to the bad <br />weather. <br />Environmental Policy Board / May 7, 2012 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
