• Rain Garden Demonstration Project <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson advised of a possible site for a rain <br />garden demonstration project, noting that possible cost -share funds may be available for the <br />proj ect. <br />• Other <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that with the reorganization of <br />staff, about 90 percent of his time has been focused on planning activities rather than <br />environmental duties. He apologized for the small agenda and asked if any Board Members <br />would like to review the Work Plan to focus priorities, or even review items in Subcommittee <br />format. Due to a lack of available staff time, he asked that the Board assist in prioritizing the <br />Work Plan. He stated that it would be beneficial if an interested Board Member wanted to focus <br />their attention on a Work Plan item and gather background information. <br />Chairperson Max suggested that the October Board meeting focus on prioritizing the Work Plan <br />and discussing this in more detail. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson confirmed that the Board would still <br />like to focus on the demonstration projects. <br />Chairperson Max commented that October would be a good time to make the decision on the tree <br />sale for the spring, and to line up vendors. <br />Board Member Lewis believed that the Board could do some "house keeping" and could <br />possibly develop the agendas in the future. <br />The Board also discussed the possibility of transferring the Environmental Expo from the usual <br />date to take place in conjunction with the Happy Days event. Associate Planner /Environmental <br />Coordinator Anderson explained that this would allow the event to take advantage of the high <br />level of foot traffic from the Happy Days events. <br />Board Member Valentine stated that when he joined the Board, his expectation was that the <br />members would most likely handle much of the planning and research items. He thought that the <br />Board Members could begin to take a more active role in those actions. <br />7.
