BOARD / STAFF INPUT 6.01: Receive Update on 2016 Arbor Day Event City Planner Anderson provided an update on Arbor Day events. He stated they are looking at scheduling the event for Thursday, May 12, 2016 at approximately 5:30 p.m. with a fall back date of Monday, May 16 in case of inclement weather. 6.02: Receive Info on Constructed Soil Systems City Planner Anderson presented information provided by a local resident relating to constructed soil systems. Board Member Covart asked if it would make sense to do something where they have the rain barrels or compost system, some kind of poster or handouts, which might attract the right crowd. City Planner Anderson thought it was a good suggestion but not as a poster, maybe a handout. He stated the pre-sale opportunity to purchase rain barrels or compost bins is open and the distribution th event will be Friday, May 20 from 9:00am to 1:00pm. He noted Anoka County was able to help offset the cost of the compost bins but not the rail barrels based on the source of the funding. 6.03 Board Member Farewell Chairperson Stodola stated this is Board Member’s Bentz last meeting and he thanked him for his years of service on the Board. 7. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Board Member Valentine and seconded by Board Member Lewis to adjourn the meeting.
