<br />Chairperson McDilda stated that the EPB only meets once a month, with a maximum of <br />11 meetings. He inquired whether some of the items on the existing work plan could be <br />"B" priority items versus "A" priority items. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda suggested combining the first two bullet points and listing them as <br />an "A" priority. He suggested that "Create a Public Grants and Funding Calendar" could <br />be a "B" priority. <br /> <br />Board Member Max concurred that any board in the city could work with creating a <br />public grants and funding calendar. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz replied that there is a website that lists grants for government <br />programs. <br /> <br />Board Member Max stated that public foundations should be included in order for it to be <br />a comprehensive listing of public grants and funding. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda suggested that "Research Open Space Referendum", the "Wetland <br />Inventory", and "Encourage citizen participation" bullet points should all be "A" <br />priorities. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda suggested that the "waste stream management" bullet point be a <br />"B" priority. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that the "Tree Bank" proposal could be a <br />"B" priority. Coordinator Anderson volunteered to work with this bullet point and he <br />will report back to the EPB with new language. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated there is still a lot of work around wetland buffers so it will <br />be necessary to encourage citizen participation. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that "Address other environmental issues as identified and <br />assigned" bullet point was dependent on the issue. He asked if it was even necessary to <br />have this on the work plan as a bullet point. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that it is a given that Board address other <br />issues if so directed by City Council and thus, didn't think it needed to be on the plan. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda concurred with Environmental Coordinator Anderson to take it off <br />the list because it is a given responsibility to fulfill the wishes of the City Council as a <br />Board. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson asked if the new work plan should be put on the <br />agenda for the next EPB meeting for final adoption. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Max and seconded by Board Member Sibilski to adopt the <br />200612007 work plan as amended. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board/ January 8, 2006 <br />Page 7 of 15 <br />
