with the environment. The space fillers could just be little factoids about anything related to the <br />environment. <br />Chairperson Max stated that he was fine with all of the edits that had been made but in the <br />second paragraph he would like some sort of statement to inform the public that the EPB is made <br />up of everyday people and not necessarily a bunch of `environmentalists'. <br />Board Member Stodola volunteered to try and draft an article on water conservation. <br />6. BOARD / STAFF INPUT <br />• September Meeting Date <br />Consensus of the Board was to reschedule the September meeting to September 10, <br />2012 due to the Labor Day holiday. <br />• Web Updates <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson informed the Board that he <br />has been working on updates to the website and requested that the Board take a look <br />at it in their spare time and let him know if there are other additions they'd like to see <br />made. <br />• Updates on the Monarch Station/Prairie Creation Project <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson provided a handout showing <br />a possible location for this demonstration project. He stated he chose this site <br />because of two factors, it is a public park and it has a GRE transmission line running <br />through it. However, the Board may want to consider another location that would <br />likely benefit from much greater foot traffic. Consensus of the Board was that <br />visibility is more critical than having a transmission line overhead. Wherever the <br />project goes, there could be a kiosk explaining the purpose and illustrating how this <br />type of project would be ideal under power lines. <br />Board Member Lewis requested a map of all community parks plus smaller maps of <br />all the parks that are no longer being routinely maintained. <br />• Board Member Enstrom stated that at the last WMO meeting, there was discussion <br />about a new federal agency that is reviewing the connection between a rise in E. Coli, <br />West Nile Virus and rain gardens. <br />7. ADJOURNMENT <br />Motion by Board Member Lewis and seconded by Board Member Stodola to adjourn the <br />meeting. <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:29 p.m. <br />Environmental Policy Board / August 6, 2012 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />
