Agenda - Environmental Policy Board - 08/21/2017

Home

Board Member Anderson asked if Connexus would provide the City their future marketing plan. City Planner Anderson stated that he did not have a direct answer but assumed that Connexus would be preparing a marketing plan to promote this. He noted that while the City could request to see the plan, it would not be a requirement. He noted that perhaps Mr. Burandt could come back to provide additional details via a presentation, as he did in the past for the solar array on the Connexus property. Acting Chairperson Valentine asked if a required environmental review would be triggered, such as an EAW. City Planner Anderson replied that he did not believe the size of the parcel would trigger those items but noted that he would double check. 6. BOARD / STAFF INPUT • Organics Drop -Off Recycling Program Update City Planner Anderson reported that the City has the organics program up and running, with 20 to 25 residents participating. He stated that this is most likely going to attract the die hard recyclers and that even folks that recycle on a regular basis may not be thrilled to store food scraps and drop them off at a designated location. He noted that as they continue to work out the details of the program they will continue to promote the program to increase participation. • Summer Recycling Event City Planner Anderson stated that the City is offering a summer recycling event on Saturday, July 29th from 8:00 a.m. to noon, which will be a replica of the spring and fall events. 7.

The meeting adjourned at 7:34 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Chris Anderson City Planner ATTEST: JoAnn Shaw Community Development Secretary Drafted by Amanda Staple, TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.
