TASK FORCE BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case#l: Review Draft Purpose Statement For The Ramsey Wetland Buffer <br /> Ordinance <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that he does not have a draft purpose statement prepared for review <br />this evening. <br /> <br />Ms. Frolik distributed copies of text from the Comprehensive Plan relating to environmental <br />issues. <br /> <br />The Committee discussed possible procedures to be used in drafting a purpose statement. Ms. <br />Frolik was directed to provide all members with copies of the purpose or intent statements from <br />other community ordinances. All members should review the Comprehensive Plan text and <br />examples of purpose statements and be prepared to draft a purpose statement for Ramsey's <br />ordinance at the next regular meeting on March 15. <br /> <br />Mr. Bauer stated that in talking with persons from other communities, he has learned that the <br />City should address erosion control hand in hand with wetland buffers. The committee members <br />agreed. <br /> <br />Mr. McDilda also noted that a flow diagram would be helpful to understanding federal, state, <br />county and city jurisdiction over waterways. <br /> <br />Mr. Bauer distributed copies of correspondence from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities <br />(BATC) regarding Metro Council grant funds available to study the effectiveness of wetland <br />buffers. He suggested that Remi Stone, Public Policy Director of BATC be invited to an EPTF <br />meeting to review this opportunity. <br /> <br />Case #2: Update on 2004 Environmental Expo (see page 3 of these minutes) <br /> <br />Case #3: Schedule Guest Speakers <br /> <br />Motion by Committee Member Max and seconded by Committee Member Connolly to direct <br />City Staff to arrange for the following guest speakers in April, May and June, with QCTV <br />televising the meetings as an educational piece on the local government channel. <br /> <br />April 5 - Fire Station #1 <br /> <br />Doug Norris (DNR) <br />Remi Stone (BATC) <br /> <br />April 19 City Hall <br /> <br />Review information from April 5 <br /> <br />EPTF March 1, 2004 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
