ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING JANUARY 28, 2004 <br />Asleson stated the City did a visioning called the 2020 Vision, with an enormous <br />number of residents participated. People needed to be reminded of the concepts <br />that resulted from the process. Ms. Dubats indicated she would like to put it in <br />the newsletter. <br /> <br />Asleson assured her that he would notify her when there was a newsletter <br />deadline. It was important to include the ramifications of development, and the <br />implications for planners, elected officials, landowners and developers. <br /> <br />O’Connell inquired if she would be willing to do something for Earth Day. <br />Grundhofer added the date was April 24, 2004. <br /> <br />O’Dea questioned if information could be available to farming landowners <br />intending to sell. <br /> <br />Asleson inquired if she would be willing to work with the City to inform the small <br />landowner. The Wildlife Urban Interface Manual and Beyond the Suburbs were <br />some materials the City used. He noted another audience was the builders. In the <br />past, it was a broad interface of staff and builders in February. It could eliminate <br />conflict in the future to inform them of changes in the regulations. <br /> <br />Bauman questioned if homeowners were aware of drainage easements, issues <br />with ponding, and the Shoreland Ordinance focusing on the interconnections <br />localized to their cul-de-sac. Ms. Dubats responded that she was hoping to <br />develop some snazzy brochures. <br /> <br />Bauman recommended that there be a listing of resources for homeowners. <br />Asleson noted there was a website link available. <br /> <br />Ms. Dubats stated there was someone in the office who specialized in website <br />design and internet links. <br /> <br />Ms. Dubats mentioned that her background was in schools, and #4 addressed her <br />responsibilities to schools. She noted there was considerable material for that <br />audience. <br /> <br />O’Dea inquired if she had worked with Wargo Nature Center. Ms. Dubats <br />answered that she had not previously. She inquired if there were any programs <br />that the Board would like to see. She asked for a copy of the permitting to <br />understand the City’s focus. <br /> <br />Asleson stated he could obtain that for her. He believed that Grochala signed off <br />on them. He mentioned the Board would like to begin three extension courses, <br />and invited her participation. <br /> <br />7 APPROVED MINUTES
