Reports of Mayor and Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn reported she attended the Ramsey County Urban Pollinators class. She <br />found the class to be quite interesting. She learned Ramsey County wanted to work with local <br />governments with highways to provide additional native plantings that would benefit the bee <br />population. In addition, cities were encouraged to investigate their own property to find areas <br />that could return to prairie for the purpose of encouraging bee and butterfly pollination. She <br />believed a portion of Silver View Park could be turned into a prairie. She noted these prairie <br />areas would use less water and pesticides, which was great for the environment. The City could <br />also encourage homeowners to plant their catch basins with prairie plants. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty supported this idea and encouraged staff and Councilmembers to drive through <br />the City and keep in mind areas that could be turned into prairie.
