Suggested Topics Received from Board Members <br />- Still would prefer a leaf, raindrop, logo on City's web page to get to the EPB area with one <br />click. Digging through the menus isn't doing us any favors. <br />- Methods to keep water out of the storm drains and sewers, encourage infiltration: <br />Swales, french drains on steep slopes to keep water from reaching the streets <br />Any new septic tank or drain field methods <br />Raingardens <br />Topsoil <br />Graywater <br />- Advertise in newsletter, QCTV xeriscaping methods and natural / native landscapes <br />Tree or shrub of the month in the newsletter, maybe a picture, why it fits in Ramsey <br />Types of hardy, drought tolerant grasses that do well here with minimal irrigation <br />Publish Mr. Riverblood's study on topsoil in a resident friendly manner in the newsletter <br />- Help spread the word the County's efforts (year of the bird 2015) <br />- Obtain the Outreach septic tank care presentation and have it available locally, along with the <br />well water. They have had annual presentations for years and I still haven't been able to attend <br />one... <br />As an example, not to do all your laundry on the same day if you are on a septic system. You <br />may not have enough solids settling time and the solids may move through the system creating <br />blockages. Or why/why not using the Rid-X... <br />- May have an interest in LED lighting for residents. I don't know if Connexus or some green <br />groups or Feit may have some energy saving calculation spreadsheets to plug in costs, run-time, <br />utility costs, etc. Similar to the article reviewed at the last meeting, how the company determined <br />their savings. <br />- Perhaps a challenge to turn out the lights at night. Not security lighting but signs, landscaping <br />lights, building lights, billboards, etc. As many companies already have security systems to <br />lower insurance premiums, and most use IR to see in the dark, many building lights should be <br />able to be turned off. Especially multi -level buildings, second floor and up? Dark skies? <br />- Still like to encourage the Monarch Highway, planting milkweed in corridors. The Monarch's <br />follow Highway 35, so we are along their route... <br />
