He stated <br />that big name may also help to track down other exhibitors. <br />The Board further discussed options for a guest speaker and the opportunity to possibly have two <br />speakers. <br />Councilmember Letourneau stated that he could reach out to the speaker as a City <br />Councilmember. He stated that in regard to the next case, perhaps it would be good to have a <br />booth discussing the prairie establishment in the utility corridor. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson noted that perhaps Prairie Restoration <br />would be a suitable candidate for a second smaller scale presentation or speech. <br />Environmental Policy Board / April 1, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
