recording. These infrared photos with overlays and the plotted true Color <br />maps will then be used during the field inventory/ground-truthing <br />portion of the project. <br />^ Task 4: Landowner Contact <br />April/May 2004 <br />Based on aerial photo review, we will identify parcels where a detailed <br />field inventory by a plant ecologist is appropriate. We will provide this <br />information to the City. Based on conversations with City staff, it is our <br />understanding that the City will send a letter requesting property access <br />to the landowner of each of these properties. We propose that a <br />response postcard with pre-paid postage be included with this letter. We <br />have used this method successfully in the past and found it effective and <br />efficient. Our team will handle landowner questions regarding the NRI. <br />Deliverables: <br />Electronic template for landowner contact letter and response <br />postcard <br />Sample landowner contact letter <br />Data base of landowner responses to access request <br />^ Task 5: Pre-inventory Public Meeting <br />Late April or May 2004 <br />We recommend scheduling one pre-inventory public informational <br />meeting/open house two to three weeks after property access letters are <br />mailed. We also recommend that such a meeting be open house style to <br />give landowners within the study area and other interested citizens the <br />opportunity to learn more about the process, goals and product of the <br />natural resource inventory/MLCCS mapping. <br />One approach to this open house is to set up multiple "stations', so <br />attendees can circulate through the room and learn about individual <br />activities associated with the project and ways in which the data will <br />benefit them and the city. We will work with the City and the Park and <br />Recreation Commission to determine the information at each station. <br />Some examples of possible stations include: <br />What is an NRI/MLCCS? <br />What are the steps of an NRI? <br />How will information from the NRI be used? <br />Large, plotted aerial photos where residents can find locate their <br />property and share information about natural resources <br />Others, as identified by the Parks/Planning Commission <br />Deliverable: <br />Open house design and presentations by Bonestroo staff on project <br />goals, activities and products <br />_~ City of E/k?/uer 5 <br />]~,] Natural Resouires /nuenloN <br />A pub/ic information meeting /ets <br />landowners learn about the project <br />
