are working together to develop a Communication Plan to introduce the Strategic Plan. He <br />stated that there are a number of goals identified in the Plan that would tie into the work <br />completed by the Board. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that the agendas for the near <br />future will be very full and noted that the Work Plan would most likely be reviewed by the City <br />Council at a regular meeting rather than a Work Session prior to a regular meeting. He stated <br />that it is likely that the Mayor and City Administrator may want to meet with the Board directly <br />to present the Communication Plan for the Strategic Plan. <br />Chairperson Max suggested that an item should be included on the Work Plan that states the <br />Board will continue public outreach via the City newsletter and QCTV. He also believed the tree <br />inventory should be included as an implementation project. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson confirmed that the Board was <br />comfortable with the four categories and the language used. He noted that the Board is <br />somewhat limited in the amount of work they can take on with 12 meetings per year. He noted <br />that it would be the decision of the Board whether to present the Work Plan to the Council prior <br />to the Communication Plan presentation. <br />Chairperson Max stated that perhaps it would be beneficial to have discussion by Subcommittees <br />for specific topics in the future. He stated that he did not think it would matter when the Work <br />Plan was presented to the City Council. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that while he would prefer to <br />meet with the City Council at a Work Session, which would not be possible in the near future, <br />but agreed that it would not hurt to present earlier. <br />Board Member Lewis questioned if a copy of the Work Plan could be sent to the Council in a <br />packet form for review prior to the presentation from the Board. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he would forward the <br />document to City Councilmember Letourneau and ask if he would be comfortable distributing <br />that information to the Council. He stated that the plates of the Council are pretty full and was <br />unsure of the amount of time the Councilmembers would have. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill noted that the City Attorney should review that <br />possibility to ensure open meeting laws are not violated. <br />Board Member Bentz stated that from experience he would say to present the information to the <br />City Council at a regular meeting, as much discussion is not had at Work Sessions for this item, <br />and noted that if the Council felt further discussion was warranted they could direct the item to a <br />Work Session. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that perhaps he can speak with <br />the Council Liaison and have him enter the draft Work Plan at a regular Council meeting and <br />enter the document into the record at that time, with the possibility of a Work Session in the <br />future. <br />Environmental Policy Board / July 1, 2013 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
