Environmental Policy Board (EPB) 5. 4. <br />Meeting Date: 05/15/2017 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Update on Mayors for Monarchs Pledge and Kick -Off Planting <br />Purpose/Background: <br />City Staff continues to work on a Mayors for Monarchs Mayoral Pledge Signing event to 'kick-off the City's <br />pollinator initiative. Staff has met with representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on a potential <br />partnership to complete a pollinator planting project in Lake Itasca Park. The City is aiming for an early June <br />planting event (timing is crucial for the success of the plantings) that would lead into a larger, broader project along <br />the Itasca Trail. While details of this project are still being worked through (date, participants, etc), Staff wanted to <br />provide the Board with a brief update on provide the Monarch Trail Action Plan prepared by the U.S. Fish and <br />Wildlife Service, since it is likely that the initial planting event (planting of plugs to get more exposure initially) will <br />be completed prior to the next EPB meeting. <br />Action: <br />No specific action is required. <br />Monarch Trail Planting Plan <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill JoAnn Shaw 05/12/2017 08:11 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 05/11/2017 04:26 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 05/12/2017 <br />
