October 6 Closing Celebration <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the EPB consider using the Ramsey Farmers Market as a platform to promote sustainability <br />initiatives and connect with residents in a neutral, community -focused setting. Participation does not need to align with a <br />themed market night. However, some nights may provide natural opportunities for coordination. <br />Potential examples include the June 23 market, which coincides with National Pollinator Week and could support outreach <br />related to pollinator -friendly practices, native plantings, or available resources, and the September 22 market, which may <br />align well with promotion of the City's fall recycling event, fall yard preparation, or other seasonal sustainability efforts. <br />Staff welcomes input from the EPB on whether there is interest and willingness on the Board's part to staff a table at the <br />Farmers Market for one of the dates. If so, the EPB should contemplate preferred dates, topics, and methods of <br />engagement. Staff are also open to additional ideas that align with the Board's priorities. Participation can be flexible and <br />scaled based on interest and capacity. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Provide direction on Environmental Policy Board interest in participating in the 2026 Ramsey Farmers Market, including <br />preferred date(s) and general areas of focus for outreach or education. <br />No file(s) attached. <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 01/08/2026 03:23 PIMI <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 01/06/2026 03:29 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/08/2026 <br />
