Council schedules watershed tour and field appearances; STEM night and demonstration-garden visits planned
Summary
Council members discussed upcoming community outreach and educational activities including a watershed tour, a demonstration garden visit and a STEM-night appearance at Shadow Valley.
Council members used the March 11 work session to note several community engagement opportunities and campus tours for council members.
Janine and other council members discussed a tentative demonstration-garden visit and watershed tour. Staff described a possible demonstration-garden visit and a watershed tour that has been offered previously; the demonstration garden visit was tentatively scheduled for April 15 at 2:30 p.m. as a possible date but the council and staff noted scheduling constraints because of upcoming budget work. Staff also said the watershed tour varies year to year and had previously included a bus trip and site visits within the watershed.
Council members discussed a Shadow Valley STEM night scheduled for “tomorrow” from the March 11 meeting standpoint; the work session recorded the event time as 5:30 p.m. the following evening at Shadow Valley. Council members described the Shadow Valley appearance as a tabling/engagement event to display air-quality and sustainability projects derived from recent local initiatives.
Council members asked about expectations for attendance and participation; staff said the events typically involve tours, presentations and opportunities to speak with residents and partners but noted that formal council action was not required for the announced appearances.
