Council Member Backous noted he will bring up the issue to the Parks Supervisor. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated it may be a tough sell not giving <br />a "maintained" appearance.

Consensus was to move this project to the top of the list. He asked for <br />direction on the other items. <br />Discussion ensued regarding prioritization of the work plan items. <br />Board Member Bentz asked about guidance for the water conservation program. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson suggested he coordinate with the <br />interim city engineer to address the program. <br />With consensus, Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated the Board will <br />be focusing on community awareness with web developments and structuring the demonstration <br />project of monarch gardens. He asked if there were other items in the next month or two to be <br />addressed. The Board agreed they have enough projects to start within the next few months. <br />Chairperson Max suggested moving the date of the expo separate from the tree sale, maybe in <br />fall.
