<br />Chairperson McDilda stated that having photos with every sample would be overkill, but <br />photos could provide a point of reference in talking about the measures in value. <br /> <br />Ms. Kampbell stated that all the photos are in JPG format so they are the property of the <br />City of Ramsey already. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson stated that the photos belong to the city and they can be available on a <br />DVD. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon asked if the layers could be electronically available. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson stated that it would be in GIS form. <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski asked how many wetlands were upgraded or downgraded after <br />the initial assessment. <br /> <br />Ms. Kampbell stated that she could provide a comparison. <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski asked how one small section along the river could change from <br />Preserve to Manage 1. He noted his long term concern that someday that property <br />might be sold. He stated that he would rather see it as Preserve than Manage 1 along the <br />rIver. <br /> <br />Ms. Kampbell explained that the river was split up into sections. She stated the first <br />priority for Bowser that puts the wetland into exception is the vegetation. She stated she <br />would clarify that in the report. <br /> <br />Coordinator Anderson stated the reason for the change could be because the area along <br />the Mississippi River abuts agricultural land. <br /> <br />Environmental Specialist Bacon asked what the MLCCS categories relate to. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson stated that assuming they were accurate, they would relate to diversity. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that the primary areas to address in the report would be any <br />time something came back as unavailable and why that is; and, any time there is a sharp <br />transition or deviation from predictions. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz asked if since the city paid for this, there was a way to get credits <br />submitted to government agencies. He asked if this could be used to apply for matching <br />grants or funds. <br /> <br />Mr. Peterson stated that it belongs to the city and can be used however they want to use <br />it. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz asked if this data could potentially be of use to the State of <br />Minnesota or the Corp of Engineers. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board!
