PIAB discusses Bee City USA activities; Flicks at the Park set for Aug. 14
Summary
The board discussed Bee City USA coordination, a May 14 Xerces Society session, and event ideas for Flicks at the Park (Aug. 14), including an ice cream table and insect/bee education activities; a butterfly habitat proposal was limited by wetlands and Metro boundaries.
The Public Infrastructure Advisory Board covered Bee City USA activities and community event planning during its May 12 meeting. Susan Rush noted an email circulated about a free one‑hour Xerces Society virtual session on May 14 and that Peter Brandom prepared progress notes to track Bee City commitments for reporting and planning.
Jay Larson reported that the Great NorthWest Ice Cream Company is developing a Bee City USA flavor (honey lavender) and outlined proposed engagement activities for Flicks at the Park on Aug. 14, including an ice cream table, chalk art, an insect display or beekeeper visit, and a hands‑on antenna‑making activity for children. Larson also described an idea to create a butterfly habitat near the Mariposa Causeway but acknowledged site limitations due to wetlands and Metro‑owned boundaries.
The board confirmed Aug. 14 as the Flicks at the Park date and discussed community involvement; no formal PIAB motions were recorded for event spending or formal commitments at the May 12 meeting.
