to make this available and encourage projects and did not want to see it become <br />overly cumbersome. <br />Board Member Lewis stated that the review Subcommittee step could be removed to <br />speed up the process. <br />Board Member Prendergast suggested that the term entry be used in place of <br />application, as to not confuse people into thinking that this would be asking for <br />permission to proceed with the project. <br />City Planner Anderson noted that in most cases things will come to the attention of <br />City staff through telephone conversations, similar to the process of the recent Girl <br />Scouts project. <br />Board Member Stodola noted that the Subcommittee did discuss how projects would <br />be reviewed comparing projects completed on public land to the scale of a project that <br />would be completed on private property. <br />Chairperson Max expressed concern with the possibility of the process becoming <br />lengthy and getting too specific. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that he believes that youth groups would most likely be <br />the recipients of the award. He noted that once the framework is fully developed <br />there could be a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss <br />the recognition program. He advised that certain projects may be more applicable to <br />the Parks and Recreation Commission rather than the EPB. <br />Board Member Lewis suggested that the draft version of the framework be sent to the <br />Parks and Recreation Commission for their input. He noted that if the program could <br />be developed and agreed upon, both groups would be working with the same <br />baseline. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that he could meet with Parks and Assistant Public <br />Works Superintendent Riverblood to discuss the framework and could then schedule <br />a joint meeting with the EPB and the Parks and Recreation Commission. <br />Board Member Lewis stated that as long as the input of the Parks and Recreation <br />Commission is obtained, he did not think a joint meeting would be necessary in order <br />to move the item forward more quickly. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that if there is a joint meeting to occur he would suggest <br />holding the meeting on the regular meeting date of one of the groups. <br />Board Member Lewis believed that it would be perfect to hold the joint meeting at the <br />next regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission. <br />Environmental Policy Board / March 3, 2014 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />
