Case #3: Agenda for the First Monday in December and 2006 Work Plan <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated the meeting will be held on December 5, 2005. Board Member <br />Olds stated the agenda for 2006 would be revisions to the tree ordinance, educational processes <br />for the wetland buffer and tree ordinance. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated a date should be determined for the EXPO work session at the <br />December meeting. Chairperson McDilda stated everybody on the EPB should get a copy of the <br />2005 work program. Chairperson McDilda suggested that at the December meeting, a draft for <br />the work session should be ready. Chairperson McDilda asked Environmental Specialist Bacon <br />and Coordinator Anderson bring it to the next meeting. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated another item will be to research what the next topics will be as part <br />of the 2006 plan. He stated that everybody should bring items to be discussed at future EPB <br />meetings. <br /> <br />Board Member Olds stated that taking what the EPB had to address in 2005, reevaluating <br />accomplishments, and what the future entails for the EPB, should be discussed. Board Member <br />Max concurred, suggesting that a state of the environment report to the City council could be a <br />five minute presentation to the City council. Board Member Max suggested the EPB may want <br />to do smaller things that could be reported back to the group. Board Member Max stated he <br />would like to look at waste streams, work on it, and make recommendations. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that each EPB Member will be getting a copy of the 2005 plan. <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that each Member should be prepared to have input at the next <br />meeting for the 2006 plan. He stated other EPB Members may not attend because they don't <br />understand that there is a rigor and regime to do this. Chairperson McDilda stated this would <br />give other Members a framework. Chairperson McDilda stated that the next meeting would <br />involve election for chair and vice chair. <br /> <br />Board Member Max asked if he should follow up with Coordinator Anderson on the things that <br />have been accomplished to date on the tree ordinance. Chairperson McDilda stated he should do <br />that. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon stated that when he was briefing Patrick Trudgeon, he <br />mentioned that a City wide aerial tree inventory with ground proofing has potential value. <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon mentioned it because it would help with discussion, and be an <br />important educational tool if the EPB could get people to buy into what is being done. Board <br />Member Olds concurred that it would be advantageous. Chairperson McDilda stated that it <br />could be written into the education plan. <br /> <br />Board Member Max suggested that Anoka County Conservation District be invited to attend an <br />EPB meeting to discuss how the City could utilize the MLCCS information more effectively. <br />Board Member Max stated that could also be turned into a statewide presentation. Board <br />Member Max noted that the City of Ramsey is unique because it has to be done by air. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board / November 7, 2005 <br /> Page 8 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
