5. POLICY BOARD BUSINESS <br />5.01: Environmental Expo Update <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson presented the staff report. <br />Chairperson Max stated that Anoka Ramsey Farm and Garden was confirmed as an exhibitor and <br />he was still waiting to hear from the USGS and Master Naturalists. <br />Board Member Hiatt review the Board's booth display for the expo event. <br />General discussion ensued about the display board. <br />There was consensus that the display was coming along very nicely. <br />Chairperson Max suggested that the mission statement of the Board be simplified, possibly using <br />bullet points. <br />Board Member Hiatt stated that an aerial photo indicating the location of the two demonstration <br />projects should be added to the display. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he could put that together. <br />Board Member Bentz asked if there was any type of lock for the laptop during the expo event. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated he would have to inquire about <br />that but noted that a Board Member will always need to be at the booth to ensure that the laptop <br />used for the survey does not disappear. <br />5.02: Consider Potential Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Housing <br />Assistance Policy <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson presented the staff report. <br />Associate Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that certain actions could be <br />covered by multiple topics, for instance, the use of native plantings could fall under stormwater <br />as well as sustainable landscapes. He requested clarification from the Board about whether to <br />include such an action under both, which would potentially allow double credit for a single <br />action, or just place it under the most applicable category. <br />The Board stated that their preference would be just to assign it under the most applicable <br />category. <br />Board Member Bentz inquired if the Housing Assistance Policy and the BMPs would be cross <br />referenced to direct the reader to other chapters that may have similar information. <br />Environmental Policy Board / August 26, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
