ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING October 26, 2011 <br />DRAFT MINUTES 3 <br />Mr. Asleson has put this item on an upcoming City Council agenda and wanted to <br />run this item by the Environmental Board first to see if the Board had any <br />concerns. <br /> <br />Mr. Heiskary stated we have the worst streets here in Lino Lakes and need to do <br />something about it. <br /> <br />Mr. Asleson stated he will contact haulers to see how may have garbage and <br />recycling and how may have only garbage pick-up with no recycling. <br /> <br />Ms. O’Dea questioned if other cities who switched to organized garbage <br />collection let the residents vote on the change. If not, she would like to know who <br />decided to change to one hauler? <br /> <br />Ms. Asleson stated he will call a few cities to find out how and why they went <br />through the process. <br /> <br />In Maple Grove, Waste Management rewards citizen’s for recycling based on the <br />number of pounds recycled with gift cards, etc. Our city should ask for an <br />incentive program such as theirs. <br /> <br />D. 2011 and 2012 Environmental Board Goals <br /> <br />The following are the proposed 2012 EB Goals with changes from Board <br />members: <br /> <br />2012 Environmental Goals <br /> Promote environmental stewardship with the citizens of Lino Lakes by <br />communicating environmental initiatives in the city using various means of <br />communication such as: <br /> City Web Pages <br /> Newsletter <br /> Spring <br /> Summer <br /> Fall <br /> Winter <br /> Homeowner’s association meetings and publishing on their websites. <br /> Press Coverage <br /> Earth Day <br /> Arbor Day <br /> Recycling Day – (May 5thh) <br /> Work with Centennial School District with a focus on ECFE <br /> <br /> Participate in Blue Heron Days (August), providing public service educational
