City Planner Anderson confirmed that there is a charge to use the stations but was unsure of the <br />current cost and noted that he could follow up on that. <br /> <br />Board Member Hiatt stated that perhaps one of the first steps would be to approach a car dealer <br />and what they are doing related to charging stations, as they are selling those vehicles. <br /> <br />Chairperson Covart stated that she traveled in northern Minnesota and they had two charging <br />stations to the side of the gas station run by a private company and charges occur through an app <br />electric company at that location. She confirmed that the Board would like to see that item <br />prioritized somehow in terms of research options. She asked if the Board would support moving <br />that item in front of the demonstration garden as item six. <br /> <br />Board Member Little stated that he has passion for the demonstration garden as that would provide <br />benefit to the community and would be willing to provide assistance. He noted that there is benefit <br />to having a cover crop for the first year as well and would volunteer to assist. <br /> <br />Board Member Moore stated that she is also passionate for that item. She stated that she will be <br />moving forward on her demonstration garden as a Master Gardener this year, in coordination with <br />the Park and Recreation Commission and welcomed the assistance of Board Member Little. She <br />stated that because her smaller scale project will move forward this year, she would support <br />moving the work plan item to follow the charging stations. <br /> <br />project. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson reviewed the consensus of the Board to move the articles to the top of the <br />list, move the charging stations above the demonstration item, and removing the items with lines <br />through them. <br /> <br />Chairperson Covart asked if the carryover item has had any progress. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson replied there has not been progress made on that item. <br /> <br />Board Member Moore commented that she was under the impression that Ramsey was working <br />with the watershed on an ongoing basis to discuss these matters and ensure that people that <br />purchase homes along the rivers were aware of erosion guidelines. <br /> <br />City Planner Anderson stated that perhaps that discussion was confused with erosion issues on the <br />Rum River and attempting to target those property owners with educations materials related to the <br />Wild and Scenic Overlay District. He stated that the City does have an inventory of the Mississippi <br />River shoreline through the Anoka Conservation District and properties with severe and moderate <br />erosion issues were identified. He stated that this item would send targeted materials to those <br />property owners and connect them with assistance and funding opportunities in order to address <br />some of those erosion issues on the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />Board Member Fetterley commented that the investigatory work has been done and it should <br />remain high on the list to see it through. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board / May 17, 2021 <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />
