1 <br /> <br />Lino Lakes Environmental Board 2018 Goals <br /> <br />1. Promote environmental stewardship and conservation opportunities with <br /> Lino Lakes citizens through outreach and participation in city-sponsored events. <br /> <br />2. Partner with Anoka County Recycling Resource Solutions to meet or exceed our <br /> city recycling goal of 50 % (2,158 tons) of our municipal solid waste. <br /> <br />3. Collaborate with Rice Creek Watershed District, Vadnais Lakes Area Water <br /> Management Organization, and city staff to promote development and practices that <br /> renew, preserve, and restore surface water including lakes, stream and wetlands <br /> through project review processes and public education. When possible, seek <br /> opportunities to do likewise in existing developments. <br /> <br />4. The City Comprehensive Plan reflects citizen’s 2040 vision for Lino Lakes. The <br />values expressed in the Resource Management System portion should be used in the <br />review of development proposals. <br /> <br />5. Evaluate at least 3 past Environmental Board development projects to help inform <br />future Environmental Board recommendations. <br /> <br />6. Support the Community Garden site in conjunction with the Parks Department. <br /> Assist with garden modifications that may be needed because of the 2017 land <br /> sale. <br /> <br />7. Continue implementation of the Lino Lakes EAB Plan. Update the plan as needed <br /> based on the 2017 identification of EAB in Lino Lakes, experience gained during <br /> implementation, and rapidity of the spread of EAB throughout the City’s forests. <br /> Offer residents opportunities for tree purchasing and possibly tree treatment. Obtain <br /> interns and train them in Ash Tree Treatment. Continue treating a third of our City <br /> boulevard trees. <br /> <br />8. Continue to evaluate wetland bank opportunities to support natural resource <br /> restoration and protection. <br /> <br />9. Continue to monitor the Heron rookery in Peltier Lake and to support the protection <br /> of resources in that area. Update Council on these matters. Recruit volunteers, as <br /> needed, to help with rookery maintenance and monitoring. <br /> <br />10. Support and implement surface water management projects. <br /> <br />11. Support the maintenance of established conservation easement areas where funding <br />is available. Conduct education as needed for homeowners near or adjacent to these <br />easements. <br /> <br />12. Implement public education activities to promote water conservation.
