She stated that everyone had a great time and the event went smoothly. She reviewed the expenses in detail and noted that the total spent was $973, Natural Resources Board Page 2 Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2017 so the additional $200 that was approved was not required. She noted that the rock painting was a great success, but the chalk art was not as good as in prior years. She stated that the advertising this year was much better. She explained how she had placed information on Facebook which was viewed many times and forwarded. She felt this is why the turnout was so good. Ms. Lucier stated that she believes that being able to pay the entertainment rather than getting volunteers has made it easier to get good performers. Ms. Glaser agreed, but stated that what they are paid is far less than their usual rate. Ms. Lucier suggested getting small signs to put around the park advertising Earth Day. She noted that the marque is blocked by the flags and the banner is not seen unless you are going down toward the river. Ms. Glaser stated that Earth Day next year will be on April 215`. Ms. Lucier stated that getting the word out early might make it easier for participants to save the date so they will not have conflicts. Mr. Clifton stated that this is the 3`d year he has participated and it has gotten easier each year. He asked Ms. Glaser to provide the information she has developed to the Board so it could stay with the Board in case she were to resign. Ms. Glaser responded that she has provided on going reports and lists throughout the planning stage and she will provide a final report and vendor list to the Board via email. Ms. Ring called for a motion to set Earth Day for April 21, 2018.

Gopher Tortoise Burrow: Update on Build -a -Burrow by Ann Lucier Ms. Lucier reported that the kids really had a good time going through the burrow and seeing what animals share the burrows with the tortoises. She stated that she had made the burrow a little larger than was recommended which allowed larger children to go through it. She stated that she has the burrow disassembled with all its parts in containers ready for next year. The Board thanked her for building it. She responded that it was fun and she enjoyed seeing how much the kids liked it. Item C. NRB Calendar of Events a) May. 2017 — None c) June, 2017 — None Ms. Glaser stated that the next event will be July 4th.

Discuss raising the board's budget from $1,000 to $1,500 As a result of discussion it was agreed to pass a motion to raise the budget and request Mr. Watanabe to present it to the City Manager for approval by the City Council. A motion to request an increase in the Natural Resources Board budget from $1,000 to $1,500 was made by Ms. Tunker, seconded by Mr. Clifton.

Discuss storage of NRB equipment (booth, banners, other materials Ms. Ring explained that the Board needs to determine a way to store its materials in one secure place. Mr. Watanabe responded that this discussion is the result of the lost banner. He stated that now the banner and some other items are being stored in a room at City Hall. The problem is that the room is not secure and it is difficult to prevent someone from removing the items. Following a detailed discussion the consensus was that the items are City property and should be stored at the City rather than at someone's home. Mr. Watanabe suggested placing all the items in a box or container and marking it clearly NRB. He stated that he will research the cost of plastic bins for storage and report back at the next meeting. Item C. Discuss the requirements for asking senior high school students to help at future Earth Day events. Ms. Ring stated that in years past students helped at the Earth Day Events. Mr. Watanabe stated there is a procedure that must be followed to have students participate at non -school functions that takes a good deal of time to complete. He provided details on his past experience with the process. He stated that he will get the necessary paperwork and help, but suggested that the Board appoint a member to Natural Resources Board Meeting Minutes of May 2, 2017 Page 4 handle the communications, etc. He stated that there is a Youth Commission which may be able to help. The consensus was that help is needed for the event. It would let the Board members circulate and visit with the vendors rather than being restricted to their particular activity.

Fors(561)62_4-6180 ,, 'vvalCwArg May 19, 2017 1—,4 AI22 HM3I:UO Natural Resources Board City of Sebastian 1225 Main Street Sebastian, FL 32958 To Whom It May Concern: I have noticed an island in the Indian River that is in Sebastian across from Mulligan's - 806 Indian River Drive Sebastian and the Tiki Bar -1130 Indian River Drive Sebastian that is amazing. Some people have built a dock and have done many extra's to the island to make it very nice for camping and a great place to put their boats. May anyone can use the dock they have built? If not my next question is.... "May I do that to an island of my choice?" I would like to blue print their island and have one for all of my friends to visit when they come up from Miami. I have not chosen and island yet nor do I have the longitude or latitude of theirs but it is great. When I choose the island I want to call my home away from home do I need to notify anyone or may I just start constructing a dock, put in a shower and all the other amenities they have. I bet I can have my friends from Miami come up and we can put this all into place by Memorial Day. It is wonderful that this is allowed in the Indian River. I will be back in touch when I have chosen my island.
