Board member Max stated the City is doing the inventory that is self replicating. He stated that <br />to the extent that nothing ever happens to the wetlands, it may never happen again. He stated <br />that some of the inventory will be done as wetlands get developed. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon noted if there is ongoing monitoring, funding might be tied into. <br />He stated that once development is done possibly nobody will pay attention. He suggested that <br />the City needs to be looking at the County as well as other interested agencies. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Max closed Case #3 and referred back to Case #2. He stated that <br />Chairperson McDilda was going to go through the Expo topics. He stated that the Expo was <br />rapidly approaching and topics should be discussed. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon stated that the water quality was one issue for the Expo. <br /> <br />Board member Olds stated that he felt the Peterson report or parts of it would be important to <br />highlight. He suggested that changes to the tree ordinance would make a good topic for the <br />Expo. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Max stated that Chairperson McDilda had mentioned that he was putting <br />together specific topics for education. He stated that he would e-mail Chairperson McDilda and <br />have it forward to the EPB members. <br /> <br />Board member Freeburg stated that someone should be contacted from the Minnesota <br />Environmental Advocacy to be at the Expo. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Max noted one challenge of the Expo was that kids came with their parents, <br />but parents didn't come in. He stated that he felt there should be more of an awareness that <br />parents could come for the educational seminars. <br /> <br />Board member Hustvedt suggested a round table with issues that the residents might be <br />interested in. He noted that the word could get out about other things statewide. <br /> <br />The EPB members discussed the possibility of additional informational meetings with round <br />table discussions, presenting information of local interest at the Expo for upcoming meetings. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon noted that it was an election year and the local candidates could <br />be invited. <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Max stated he will follow up by getting in touch with Chairperson McDilda <br />to find out what he was thinking about for topics. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon stated that he would provide members with a form to fill out for <br />contact organizations that may be interested in participating in the Expo. <br /> <br />STAFF INPUT <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board/February 6, 2006 <br /> Page 9 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
