By: Chris Anderson, Zoning & Recycling Coordinator <br />Background: <br />As part of the 2005 work plan, the EPB participated in this year's Environmental Expo by staffing <br />a booth and presenting information on the City's wetlands. The 2006 Environmental Expo has <br />been tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 29. The location of the Expo will again be at the <br />Ramsey elementary school. Each year, the EPB (and previously the EPTF) staff's one of the <br />booths at the Expo geared toward providing environmental education to residents. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff would recommend that the EPB begin considering which topic(s) they will address at their <br />booth this year. It may be appropriate to formulate a subcommittee to brainstorm and report back <br />to the Board in January. <br />EPB Action <br />Based on discussion. <br />EPB: 12/5/05 <br />CASE # 6 <br />Formulate 2006 Work Plan <br />By: Chris Anderson, Zoning & Recycling Coordinator <br />Background: <br />In January of 2005, the then Environmental Policy Task Force formulated a work plan for the <br />year. With this being the last meeting of 2005, it would be a good time for the EPB to review the <br />2005 work plan and discuss topics for the 2006 work plan. A copy of the 2005 work plan has <br />been included as Exhibit 3. <br />Observations: <br />The EPB successfully completed a wetland buffer ordinance, participated in the Environmental <br />Expo, and participated jointly with the Park & Recreation Board to offer comments on the <br />greenways portion of the Comprehensive Plan update. Furthermore, the EPB is in the process of <br />reviewing the Tree Preservation Ordinance. <br />While the EPB has successfully completed or initiated work on most of the 2005 goals, there are <br />some that have yet to be addressed. These include environmental outreach, through "vehicles" <br />such as a wetland buffer guidebook and an environmental page for the City's website, and <br />
