4We are excited to want to introduce a new column in the Ramsey Resident brought to you by <br />Ramsey's the Citv's Environmental Policy Board (EPB). <br />First, a little bit about the EPB. We are a group of seven typical Ramsey citizens. Like you, we <br />live, play, relax, and invest in our community. We arc cducators, entrepreneurs, chcmists, <br />consultants and retirees. We meet the first Monday of each Month at 6:30 p.m. at the Ramsey <br />Municipal Center City Hall in the Mississippi River Room. <br />Our charge is to recommend to the City Council such policies, plans or projects which that will <br />enhance and preserve Ramsey's natural environment — including air, soil, water and vegetation. <br />Our work plan includes improving community awareness through such means as the annual <br />Environmental Expo; demonstration projects including a rain garden and a prairie <br />restoration/establishment: public communication; and coordination with the Lower Rum River <br />Water Management Organization. <br />While we are an advisory board that reports to the City Council, ultimately we also report to <br />you our neighbors, friends and colleagues. Our meetings always begin with citizen input. We <br />welcome your ideas and perspectives, feedback and criticisms. Our point of contact at City Hall <br />is Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Chris Anderson and he can be reached by <br />phone at -(763)433-9905 or by email at candersonPci.ramsev.mn.us. <br />Now, a little bit about this column. Our intent is to develop an icon/logo that is used in the <br />newsletter, on the website, and other various forms of communication so that one can quickly <br />and easily recognize that the general content is related to the environment. Each column will <br />focus on a natural resources topic relevant to Ramsey. We want to keep vou informed and up <br />to date on Ramsev's natural environment, while also highlighting ways for vou to become <br />involved with the community, and hope to do so through this column. 'Something about our <br />logo/icon goes here. Chris, have you h and anything from Larry?› The information found in <br />this column will also be available through the Citv's website at www.citvoframsev.com. <br />The EPB looks for to working with vou and for vou. If vou have specific concerns related to <br />natural resources or would like additional information on a particular topic related to natural <br />resources, please contact the Citv's Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator vou consider <br />attending one of our monthly EPB meetings. <br />Our intent is to provide timely information abi7 Rai-c 'c .2fra .J. environment.
