if it's possible, it would mirror the revolving banner on the City homepage but with information <br />relevant to the environment. <br />• Monthly Recycling Collection Events <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson advised that he will be meeting with <br />ACE Solid Waste the following day to solidify a schedule for monthly recycling events that <br />could be held. He noted that the events would be similar to the spring and fall events, but on a <br />smaller scale. He did not think paper shredding would occur as a part of the smaller event. He <br />advised that ACE would be running the event but noted that the event would still be held at the <br />Public Works grounds because that is where people are used to going. He stated that he would <br />attend the first event to ensure it runs smoothly but advised that after that ACE will simply run <br />the event themselves. He advised that he was able to secure funds from the County to run these <br />monthly recycling events, which means that he will have funds to advertise. He noted that he <br />would list the events on the City website and would possibly utilize direct mail postcards to <br />residents as well. <br />• Other <br />Chairperson Max asked for an update on the planting event. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson reported that the planting event took <br />place on May 18th and with the participation of local volunteers, including Anoka football <br />players, the event was a success. He stated that while the wet weather conditions were good for <br />the trees, it was not much fun for the participants. He noted that the Parks Department followed <br />up and planted the remaining stock the following week, so all the plantings are now complete at <br />North Commons Park. He stated that between the planting events the previous year and this year <br />there were a total of about 90 trees planted in the park. <br />Board Member Bentz noted that his family attended the International Children's Festival in Saint <br />Paul this weekend and provided some comments. He noted that he was unable to find one <br />recycling container at the event. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that there are now about 45 -50 <br />recycling carts throughout the parks in Ramsey. <br />7.
