Green Committee
MINUTES
July & August 2006
Attending July 17:
Dave Saddoris, Tom Parent, Darrell Gerber
Staff: Sarah Linnes-Robinson
The group met at MLK Park and reviewed the 16 applications for the Stormwater Management Project that had arrived by the application deadline (July 17th).  (Note: 5 additional applications arrived after the deadline and were not discussed at this meeting.) The group toured the sites and did an initial assessment of the properties, immediately discarding three for the following reasons: a. condition of the home, b. restriction by the property owner of the location for the stormwater technique, and c. past inappropriate conduct by the property owner. The remaining property list was compiled and submitted to EOR and Fortin for their consideration.
Site tours of the remaining sites and the late applications were conducted with KFNA staff and representatives of both consultants the week of July 24th. A preliminary list of preferred sites was selected and additional research was conducted by KFNA staff. Information was transmitted to the consultants who continued conversations with select property owners to determine the feasibility of certain projects. An “A†list and “B†list was created by the consultants and submitted to the Green Committee for their review at the August meeting.
Attending August 7:
Dave Saddoris, Darrell Gerber
Staff: Sarah Linnes-Robinson, Andrea Plevan (EOR)
The committee met with Andrea Plevan of EOR to review the preliminary recommendations. While the committee agreed with some of them, other sites demanded further research. Both KNFA staff and the consultants were directed to contact property owners for specific properties to clarify the property owners desired outcomes and/or the property owners’ matches. A final list of recommended sites based upon this research will be submitted for the Committee’s review at their meeting on September 11, 2006 (rescheduled due to Labor Day). For review at this meeting, KFNA staff will also draft a contract between property owners and KFNA for participation in the project.
