A proactive approach to transportation is also instrumental to smart growth: striving to offer several transportation alternatives will aid in reducing traffic congestion and pollution 2) 2.Water Quality/Loss of Wetlands. Wetlands are vital to community health as they provide for contaminant runoff, water purification erosion/sedimenbflood control fish/wildlife habitat, aesthetics, and recreation. A proactive approach to conserving wetlands through a wetland banking system would work well for FC Wetlands are banked (preserved enhanced restored created)for credit for future impacts to wetlands - promotes CWA'no net loss'of wetlands. Umbrella bank would provide for many mitigation banks to be covered under one instrument, further streamlining the permitting process. 3) 3 Public is Unaware of many NR Issues facing FC. We could have more public involvement(think volunteers) and support if we were able to keep them informed of NR issues facing the city. Quick ideas: Creation of a bullet list in the FC utilities brochure and more frequent write-ups/interviews in the media, and meetings to pet the public involved. Guidelines to educating the public: 1. Identify the most important issues facing FC. 2.Target an audience. 3 Define the message. 4. Choose a method of communication. 5. Make sure education efforts are accurate, clear, attractive, and respectful. List any abilities, skills, certificates, specialized training, or interests you have which are applicable to this board or commission: National Mitigation Banking Association/Conference Steering Committee.
