He identified that attention <br />should be given to research ways to obtain dedication fees. <br />Asleson stated under the section Open Space and Natural Resources, the <br />1992 open space and trails was evaluated. Donlin responded that it would <br />be out of reach soon financially speaking. <br />Chair Kukonen inquired about the possibility of providing a rack of <br />resource information for people. It would serve as a good starting point <br />for the public education goal. <br />Asleson stated a public speaker or a resident from the City could give a <br />presentation on how to establish a wetland. Chair Kukonen answered he <br />spoke with someone at the Living Green Expo about the native look, but <br />he would want a service fee. <br />Grundhofer suggested a good location for a rack for resources or even a <br />three ring binder could be between the fire extinguisher and the front <br />reception desk. <br />7.OTHER DEPARTMENT REPORTS <br />A.Forestry <br />Asleson stated the plantings were in. <br />Donlin inquired the meaning of the trees with the yellow ribbons near the <br />Target site. Asleson responded those trees were being saved. <br />Grundhofer inquired about the removal of the dead trees on the Target <br />site. Asleson answered they were going to be replaced.
