CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />42 possible areas that would work. <br />43 <br />44 The council and staff discussed the time frames City Engineer Hankee explained that it is <br />45 a quick project but can't be done right away due to crops. The council also discussed <br />46 street plans. <br />47 <br />48 The council concurred that the delineation project should proceed. <br />49 3. Environmental Board Annual Worlc Plan —Environmental Coordinator Andy <br />50 Nelson and Environmental Board Chair John Sullivan were present. Mr. Nelson <br />51 reviewed his written report that included the Environmental Board's work plan. <br />52 <br />53 Mayor Rafferty noted the statement on water and water aerators; how would the <br />54 ordinance change? Mr. Nelson said that aerators don't appear in ordinance now so it <br />55 would actually be adding language. The mayor noted recycling and asked how the <br />56 current program is going and the thought behind the recycling goal. Mr. Nelson noted <br />57 that the organics program is one of the most popular and by adding new drop off sites, the <br />58 City can add capacity and growth resulting in a major impact on reducing waste. Mayor <br />59 Rafferty asked about the doggie waste station item and noted that he would like to see <br />6o availability as much as possible; how are stations added? Mr. Nelson suggested that the <br />61 sites are added based on need; expansion is somewhat limited by staff time required. <br />62 <br />63 Councilmember Cavegn asked, regarding organics recycling, how much is that being used <br />64 now? Mr. Nelson reported that the four sites generally get serviced once a week and they <br />65 are mostly full. Councilmember Cavegn asked for more information on the item dealing <br />66 with recycling at businesses properties. Mr. Nelson noted that haulers have to provide the <br />67 capacity to recycle three materials as determined by the businesses. The businesses can <br />68 get funding assistance from the County to increase their recycling and staff would <br />69 propose to share information on that opportunity. <br />70 <br />71 Councilmember Lyden asked if there is anything the Council can do to support the <br />72 Environmental Board. Chair Sullivan suggested that the Board is generally composed of <br />73 environmentalists and they see their role as providing advice to the council in that area. <br />74 One of the things that bothers them as environmentalists right now is that some residents <br />75 of the City are not following the watering restrictions. That calls for more enforcement. <br />76 Mayor Rafferty explained that staff has been directed to move from warnings to a fine <br />77 when that is appropriate. Chair Sullivan added that ignoring watering restrictions impacts <br />78 the City's situation with manganese in the water and the need for a treatment facility. <br />79 <br />80 Councilmember Stoesz asked about proposed ordinance changes (in the area of natural <br />81 resources). Mr. Nelson noted that would be a part of zoning ordinance updates that are in <br />82 progress; there are aspects within zoning law that apply to environmental areas and so the <br />83 Board will have the opportunity to looks at the changes. <br />84 <br />85 Councilmember Stoesz remarked that the aerator idea is a good one if it will help with the <br />2 <br />
