<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Board Member Olds stated that the Bonestroo proposal certainly provided more detail in terms of tasks <br />and how each task would be completed. Board Member Olds went on to say that his experience through <br />the Park and Rec Commission was that the more details provided up front equated to less uncertainties <br />throughout a project. His opinion was that Bonestroo should be awarded the project. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz stated that he leaned more toward AES because he felt that that proposal was more <br />personable and crafted in response to the RFQ whereas Bonestroo's proposal seemed more like a <br />template. <br /> <br />Board Member Freeburg stated that he is in favor of Bonestroo due to the synergy that would be created <br />with the comp plan update. <br /> <br />Board Member Sibilski stated that he went through each proposal and looked at each task and they both <br />appeared to be similar except for the amount of field work. Board Member Sibilski stated that he believes <br />that is a critical component of the NRl. Also, Board Member Sibilski stated that Bonestroo also <br />completed Elk River's NRI and believes that would be a positive considering they are a neighboring <br />community. Board Member Sibilski favored Bonestroo. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda stated that he was impressed with the thoroughness and detail of the Bonestroo <br />proposal. Chairperson McDilda concurred with Board Member Freeburg that it would create synergy <br />with the comp plan update work and stressed that he believes that is very important. <br /> <br />Board Member Bentz inquired whether the City was rushing into this project just so that it had something <br />for the comp plan or was this really for Ramsey. <br /> <br />Coordinator Anderson stated that this is for Ramsey and at the same time will provide a lot of useful <br />information for the comp plan update. Furthermore, in October of 2006, the EPB unanimously <br />recommended that City Council pursue an NRI. <br /> <br />Chairperson McDilda and Board Members Olds and Sibilski all stated that they believe this type of <br />comprehensive review of natural resources in the city is long overdue. <br /> <br />Motion by Board Member Olds and seconded by Board Member Freeburg to recommend to City Council <br />that Bonestroo complete the Natural Resources Inventory at an amount not to exceed $34,464.00 with all <br />supplemental services excluding the landowner contact portion. <br /> <br />Further discussion: The Board discussed the supplemental services offered in the proposal. In light of this <br />discussion, Board Member Olds amended his motion to recommend to City Council that Bonestroo <br />complete the Natural Resources Inventory at an amount not to exceed $34,464 and direct Staff to <br />negotiate any supplemental services to be included in that not to exceed price. Board Member Freeburg <br />seconded the amended motion. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson McDilda, Board Members Bentz, Freeburg, Olds and Sibilski. <br />V oting No: None. Absent: Board Member Max. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Coordinator Anderson stated that he had a few updates for the Board. First, he contacted a Planner with <br />the City of Dayton regarding the potential presentation by Mr. Paul Anton on the Economic Value of <br />Open Space. The City of Dayton will also promote this and confirmed that Monday, May 14,2007 at <br /> <br />Environmental Policy Board/ March 15, 2007 <br />Page 2 of3 <br />
