TRUSTEE LIASION John Stein raised a concern about the locations of approved upland spoil sites and if there was a way to track where the fill is coming from. Trustee Gillooly said the Board of Trustees rely on the expertise of the agents/contractors and confirmed during the final inspection. REPORTS Carol Brown attended the Board of Trustees meeting held on January 18th. She raised a concern regarding applications that are not being referred to the CAC for review, specifically applications for administrative permits. She believes the CAC should be given A 2 the opportunity to review these applications. She also raised the issue of having no advanced notice of the rescheduling of the postponed public hearings. It would be helpful to have the final agenda in advance of the meeting so they can properly prepare. Trustee Gillooly suggested reviewing the work session agenda to better prepare since the final agenda doesn't get finalized until late in the day on the date of the meeting. Carol noted that the term "best practices" needs to be more specific and the CAC needs to think carefully about what they are actually supporting. CLIMATE SMART COMMUNITIES John Stein will provide an update in March. NEW BUSINESS Carol Brown e-mailed her completed data analysis for 2022 applications to the CAC members and is updating the list of environmental organizations. Maggie suggested including recommendations to the Town Board in the year-end-report. Carol shared that there is a new coalition called SAP. This is a coalition of local groups making Suffolk County a greener pollinator corridor through good gardening practices. The goal is to amplify the efforts of many groups helping residents, towns and communities become part of the growing regional initiative led by the Pollinator Pathway. Their first meeting was held on Sat., February 4th Carol met with two (2) teachers from Southold High School regarding the recruitment of high school students to the council.
