Reports of Mayor and Council. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Council Member Gunn reported she attended the Ramsey County Urban Pollinators class. She 35 <br />found the class to be quite interesting. She learned Ramsey County wanted to work with local 36 <br />governments with highways to provide additional native plantings that would benefit the bee 37 <br />population. In addition, cities were encouraged to investigate their own property to find areas 38 <br />that could return to prairie for the purpose of encouraging bee and butterfly pollination. She 39 <br />believed a portion of Silver View Park could be turned into a prairie. She noted these prairie 40 <br />areas would use less water and pesticides, which was great for the environment. The City could 41 <br />also encourage homeowners to plant their catch basins with prairie plants. 42 <br /> 43 <br />Mayor Flaherty supported this idea and encouraged staff and Councilmembers to drive through 44 <br />the City and keep in mind areas that could be turned into prairie. 45
