7. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />Ramsey County Fair Critique <br />The Board discussed the benefit of the exhibit at the Ramsey County Fair. Several were <br />disappointed with the attendance. Louise Watson felt that if the District were to participate next <br />year, rt would be best to leave out the Watershed Exhibit. She feels that we really get a lot more <br />educational value out of its use at schools compared to the response generated at the fair. <br />District Work Pro„~am <br />The Board discussed the proposed work program. Jack Frost asked about the District's Purple <br />Loosestrife control program. Cliff reported. that the summer interns are finishing up a re-survey of <br />purple loosestrife throughout the entire District. It has been confirmed that the beetles are safe and <br />selective to purple loosestrife, but it takes several years to produce results after their release, and <br />beetle production under the existing program does not provide the quantities needed.. Paul Ellefson <br />stated that there is talk of privatizing this University of Minnesota program. <br />Discussion was held on actual costs associated with the restoration projects described. Cliff <br />indicated that most of the costs relate to staff time and some lab costs; however, if we want to <br />increase our activity in this area, we will 'nave to make a decision to either subcontract the work or <br />add another staff person. <br />S .
