<br />. <br /> <br />Board Member Max stated that this was a two-year plan, with this currently being the <br />second year of Work Plan 2006/2007. He recommended no change made to the years. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that he added a bullet item to the work plan <br />list to read, "Research Open Space Referendum". <br /> <br />Board Member Max suggested a grammatical change where the work plan indicates, <br />"Coordinate with City Staff the completion and support adoption of the Wetland <br />Inventory for Ramsey". He suggested that wording be changed to read, "Complete and <br />support adoption of the wetland inventory in coordination with City Staff." <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski suggested stepping through each bullet item to review the work <br />plan. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that the first item, "Work with City Staff and Council to <br />address protection and connection of greenway spaces as outlined in the 5-year Goals and <br />Strategic Focus Areas", would be as a result of direction from City Council. <br /> <br />Board Member Max asked ifthe 5-year Goals and Strategic Focus Areas were available <br />for EPB members to review. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated he has a copy but suggested that City Councilmember <br />Strommen be asked to bring it to the next meeting for discussion. Chairperson McDilda <br />explained that the 5-year Goals and Strategic Focus Areas would not be the same <br />document as the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated that the "Research the potential and/or <br />feasibility of greenway banking system" topic came about from the City Council work <br />session when the work plan was brought before them. Coordinator Anderson stated this <br />was at the direction of City Council. <br /> <br />Board Member Max reported that he was unsure whether this item was referencing <br />property or trees. <br /> <br />Environmental Coordinator Anderson stated this bullet item could tie into the "Research <br />Open Space Referendum" concept in the work plan. He explained that this might <br />indicate the potential of looking at acquiring lands when they become available for a land <br />bank. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda suggested combining the third and fourth bullet points on the work <br />plan. <br /> <br />Board Member Max stated that the "Research Open Space Referendum" item refers to <br />dedicated taxation for environmental causes and open space, which is different than <br />protecting green corridors. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda suggested putting the first two bullets together as sub-bullets. <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board!
