City Planner Anderson agreed that there would be merit to working with the schools to create <br /> that connection. <br /> Board Member Bernard stated that his child attends Ramsey Elementary and there is an <br /> environmental club at the school with approximately 25 kids. He stated that could be a possible <br /> link. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated that the Board has worked with the school in the past regarding <br /> messages on trees and tree planting. <br /> Board Member Bentz stated that perhaps the Board would like to emphasize Arbor Day more: <br /> City Planner Anderson agreed and believed that would make more sense for the Board. <br /> Chairperson Stodola agreed that some of the funds that would have been used for the <br /> Environmental Expo could be focused on compostable materials to move the event towards a <br /> zero waste event. He stated that perhaps the Board could also reach out to sustainable companies <br /> that may want to be interested in having a booth at Happy Days and the EPB booth could then be <br /> placed near those booths. He noted that perhaps a portion of the booth registration fee could be <br /> paid by the EPB to encourage participation. <br /> Board Member Bentz stated that perhaps each Commission or Board from the City would want <br /> to have a representative to answer questions available at the event. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill agreed that the City presence could be grown at that <br /> event. <br /> City Planner Anderson summarized the consensus of the Board to eliminate the tree sale and the <br /> Environmental Expo. <br /> City Council Liaison LeTourneau stated that perhaps the next step could be for staff to develop a <br /> list of activities that the Board could participate in lieu of participating in those events which the <br /> Board could review. <br /> 5.02: Consider Change of Regular Meeting Day to Third Monday of Each Month <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. <br /> Chairperson Stodola confirmed that the Board would not have any conflicts moving the regular <br /> meeting date to the third Monday of the month. <br /> Board Member Bentz questioned if the Board would need to wait until April to change the <br /> meeting date or if that could begin next month. <br /> City Planner Anderson provided additional information and believed that the best method would <br /> be to change the meeting date beginning in April. <br /> Environmental Policy Board / February 2, 2015 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
