ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 25, 2004 <br />O’Dea stated that if a City had been done, a member should list what was found, <br />or state there was no group in that City. Bauman indicated that she believed it <br />would be helpful to know there was no group. She recommended noting a contact <br />person for the City as well. <br /> <br />Marty mentioned that he would like to have the environmental groups get <br />together. <br /> <br />The Board chose cities to explore for environmental groups as follows: <br />O’Connell -- Plymouth and Crystal <br />Bor -- Woodbury <br />Chair Kukonen -- Blaine and Lexington <br />Grundhofer -- Centerville, Circle Pines, Fridley, and North Oaks <br /> <br />B. Solid Waste Reports/County Advisory Committee Updates <br /> <br />Asleson stated that Mary Eide was not present. Recycling Day would be October <br />2, 2004. He hoped there would be good weather, and requested help. <br /> <br />C. Goals 2004 and 2005 <br /> <br />Chair Kukonen reviewed the goals for 2004, and indicated that several had been <br />met. <br /> <br />Asleson stated the kiosk needed to be updated because residents have been <br />interested, and mentioned he had money for copies if needed. He noted that <br />Extension classes had been held, but few Lino Lakes residents had attended. The <br />next class would be a turf class at Chomonix on September 2, 2004. The <br />Extension was open to do more classes as well. O’Connell recommended putting <br />the information in the Quad. <br /> <br />Chair Kukonen indicated there would only be 10-25 spaces for the class. He <br />noted that Chomonix used organic fertilizer, which could be compared with other <br />conventional options. He also expressed concern that Lino Lakes would have <br />difficulty being certified as a Community Wildlife Habitat. <br /> <br />Grundhofer noted the National Wildlife Federation had the Community Wildlife <br />Habitat program changed in May. There would be no new applications <br />considered, until the new requirements were established in September. She also <br />indicated that her E-Mail was not working, so she would need to be phoned if she <br />was needed. <br /> <br />The Board briefly discussed E-Mail concerns. <br /> <br />5 APPROVED MINUTES
