Environmental Policy Board (EPB) 5. 5. <br />Meeting Date: 03/02/2015 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Review Article for Potential Inclusion in Newsletter <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The City has received a request to publish an article as a Business Spotlight, a recurring feature in the Ramsey <br />Resident newsletter. However, the article doesn't really fit the intent of the Business Spotlight. Rather, it focuses on <br />some recent lighting upgrades that were completed at the Ramsey Office Plaza, a multi -tenant facility located in <br />The COR (across from the Ramsey Municipal Center). The article outlines the environmental and financial benefits <br />that will be realized as a result of these improvements. <br />Considering the nature of the article, City Staff thought it would be appropriate to route it through the <br />Environmental Policy Board (EPB) for a recommendation, which not only provides a rationalization for publishing <br />it, but also then doesn't necessarily set a precedence or expectation that any article submitted to the City will <br />automatically be published in the newsletter. Furthermore, at the January meeting, as the EPB was discussing <br />potential recycling initiatives, one suggestion that came up was to develop some sort of recognition for businesses <br />that were taking steps to reduce waste and increase recycling. While the article doesn't focus on recycling, it does <br />call attention to a local business that has taken steps to reduce their carbon footprint and will realize a full return on <br />their investment within just a couple years time. <br />Staff is requesting that the EPB review the article, provide feedback on the content on any suggested edits, and then <br />recommend whether this article (or an edited version of it) should be included in an upcoming issue of the Ramsey <br />Resident. <br />Action: <br />By consensus, direct Staff to proceed with including this article, with any suggested edits or revisions, in an <br />upcoming issue of the Ramsey Resident newsletter. <br />Article for Review <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson (Originator) Chris Anderson 02/27/2015 09:38 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 02/26/2015 01:07 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 02/27/2015 <br />
