Council Member Strommen asked what the cost of renting a large tent would be. <br />Board Member Bentz asked if the intent was to try to hold it at city hall instead of the <br />school. <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon stated that the school indicated they do not have <br />assignments for staff, and the Expo is dependent on volunteers. He stated the clean up is <br />handled by janitors and has not been assigned to anyone. Environmental Specialist <br />Bacon stated that he has suggested in the past that the community school add a half-time <br />budgeted expo and environmental education person. <br />Acting Chairperson Max suggested making the Expo either a one -day event or a series of <br />events. <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon stated that the education part was previously done on <br />week nights. <br />Acting Chairperson Max stated that many things could be done with three or four <br />seminars wrapped around the Expo. <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon suggested that some future events could be well <br />advertised at the Expo and done later in the spring. <br />Acting Chairperson Max concurred with the suggestion. <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon suggested finding a keynote speaker. <br />Board Member Olds suggested Mr. Ron Schera since he is from the local area. <br />Council Member Strommen stated that Mr. Ron Schera had done a Boy Scout event <br />recently. <br />Board Member Sibilski stated he had been named as an advisor for the LCCMR. <br />Board Member Olds suggested inviting Will Steeger to be a speaker. <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon suggested inviting Mark Seeley. He stated that he was a <br />keynote speaker at the Shade Tree course. Environmental Specialist Bacon suggested <br />sending invitations to more than one speaker. <br />Acting Chairperson Max stated that a forum should be determined before choosing <br />speakers. <br />Board Member Bentz stated that he took his children to the tree sale, but didn't think they <br />would want to stay for a speaker. <br />Environmental Policy Board/ November 6, 2006 <br />Page4of12 <br />
