This legislation enacted into law administrative reforms to the Peconic Bay Community Preservation Fund. The legislation became effective as of July 23, 2008. One of the amendments to the law provides that each town may establish a management and stewardship plan for lands acquired by the fund. The revised New York State Town Law Section 64-e 6 reads as follows: "As part of, or in addition, to said Community Preservation Fund Project Plan, each Town Board may also adopt a Management and Stewardship Plan of interests or rights in real property acquired pursuant to this Section. No monies from the fund shall be expended for management and stewardship, except as approved in said Plan. Said Plan may provide management and stewardship projects for up to a three year period and shall provide a description and estimated cost for each project. Said Plan shall be approved and adopted by Local Law and may be updated from time to time at the discretion of the Town Board. Only management and stewardship projects permitted pursuant to Subdivision Nine-A of this section shall be eligible to be included in the Plan." The Community Preservation Fund Management and Stewardship Plan (CPF Stewardship Plan 2009) provides details pertaining to proposed expenditures from the Community Preservation Fund. The primary purpose of the CPF Stewardship Plan 2009 is to identify how Southold Town will expend monies from the Community Preservation Fund for management and stewardship purposes in 2009 and into 2010. It is intended that the CPF Stewardship Plan 2009 will be amended in early 2010 in conjunction with the Town Board's adoption of the FY2010 budget. The secondary purpose of the CPF Stewardship Plan 2009 is to show all expenditures to the Community Preservation Fund, including those which do not relate directly to management and stewardship. Community Preservation fund expenditures are broken down into three categories; CPF Stewardship/Management, CPF Acquisition and CPF Debt Service. Included in the CPF Stewardship Plan, Attachment D, for clarification purposes only, are expenditures which are charged to the Land Preservation Department and are not charged to the Community Preservation Fund. The Town has adopted a Community Preservation Project Plan, known as the CPF Plan. The CPF Plan is a separate document from the CPF Stewardship Plan 2009; the CPF Plan identifies how the Town intends to preserve or protect properties and includes a list of eligible properties for acquisition, the CPF Stewardship Plan 2009 identifies how the Town will expend monies from the Community Preservation Fund. II. PROJECT LIST AND COST ESTIMATES The Project List and Cost Estimates spreadsheet shows all Town owned open space (non-farmland properties acquired with Community Preservation Funds and notes Community Preservation Fund Management and Stewardship Plan 2009 Page I projects and cost estimates, primarily for FY2009, for each property. The Project List and Cost Estimates is a spreadsheet included as Attachment A. The Town also acquires easements on properties. Attachment B includes a list of Town owned easements on non-agricultural properties acquired with Community Preservation Funds and Attachment C includes a list of Town owned easements on agricultural properties acquired with Community Preservation Funds. When the Town purchases easements, the landowner remains the steward of the land. The Town intends to perform yearly monitoring of easements. During FY2009 monitoring is proposed to be performed by LPD Staff and the volunteer Land Preservation Committee Members, and except for the LPD Staff salaries, is not a separate expenditure charged to the Community Preservation Fund. The Project List and Cost Estimate spreadsheet is a list of the type of work proposed to be performed on each property. The Project List and Cost Estimate spreadsheet is intended to include the work plan outlined in specific property Management Plans, if such exist. The Project List and Cost Estimate spreadsheet is not intended to allow for work to be performed that is not approved in a specific property Management Plan, if such exists, or if none exists, approved by the Land Preservation Committee and Town Board. The Town's preservation program has focused on acquisition. As a result, there is a backlog of properties needing specific Management Plans. Management Plans have been written for some properties; some have been formally adopted by the Town Board and some have not. It is the Town's goal to have a Management Plan, with a budget, for each acquisition. The costs shown per project are estimated. The Town is undergoing a process to prioritize stewardship and management projects, and will continue to make adjustments to priorities, esPecially during this period of downward economic trends and economic uncertainty. The Project List and Cost Estimates describes projects that are proposed, subject to prioritization, completion of specific property Management Plans and Town Board approval. It is understood that not all projects will be approved or completed. The CPF Stewardship Plan total budget exceeds that of the Town Board adopted budget for 2009; however, total actual costs will not exceed that in the adopted Town Board 2009 budget.

Community Preservation Fund Management and Stewardship Plan 2009 Attachment A Page 4 ADDITIONAL DETAILED INFORMATION FOR ATTACHMENT A Manor Grove Properties (Potential Acquisition) The Town of Southold and County of Suffolk are in the process of acquiring 2 properties totaling 29+ acres, currently known as the Manor Grove Properties (SCTM# 1000-53-1- 1,2 & 1.3.) Acquisition is anticipated during 2009. These properties are adjacent to and within the view shed of the existing Arshamomaque Preserve. The property includes a residential dwelling, barns, and an old farm stand currently known as the "Craft Shack." It is anticipated that the dwelling and barns will be subdivided from the property prior to Town/County acquisition; however, the Craft Shack will remain on Town/County property and will require demolition after acquisition for safety purposes. General clean-up of the debris from the site is necessary also. The proposal may include acquisition of the entire property; if this occurs demolition of all structures will be necessary. Work will be performed by Town Department of Public Work Employees. Community Preservation Fund Management and Stewardship Plan 2009 Attachment A Page 5 ADDITIONAL DETAILED INFORMATION FOR ATTACHMENT A Pipes Cove Preserve Reese/Stackler The Town of Southold has acquired properties within the Pipes Cove Preserve Area with Community Preservation Funds. The Town of Southold proposes to remove the invasive species Phragmites australis from 3.6 acres located within the properties formerly known as the Stackler Property (SCTM# 1000-45~5-7.1,7.2 and 1000-47-2-33, 34 and 1000-53-1-18) and the Reese Property (SCTM# 1000-45-5-5) both within the Pipes Cove Preserve. The Phragmites will be cut and wicked over a period of three years. A five year monitoring program will be established to record the success of the project and identify areas in need of follow up treatment. The goal of the project is to permanently remove Phragmites from the affected upper tidal wetland (locales), encouraging the recruitment of native plant species. The Town will contract a certified pesticide applicator with proven experiences in the eradication of Phragmites within tidal wetland systems. Successful control of Phragmites will require a combination of mechanical and chemical control over a three year schedule. The strategy recommended for Pipes Cove includes herbicide applications, followed by biomass removal via cutting during the dormant season. The application technique will depend on the size, and density of each individual Phragmites stand. Larger stands generally will be treated using the 8TRAC, a specifically modified, amphibious all-terrain vehicle. Smaller stands will be treated using primarily backpack spray equipment. Sensitive areas where Phragmites exists within predominantly native vegetation will be treated by wicking of stem and leaves. Cutting will be accomplished primarily by a Iow- ground pressure, tracked brush hog. Sensitive areas where native vegetation is mixed will be accomplished through manual cutting. The project site will be monitored by a Southold Town designee assigned to the Phragmites eradication project. The locales targeted for eradication will be photographed before and after each phase of the project schedule. Transects will be established for purposes of monitoring the eradication results. The Phragmites eradication project and results will further be utilized in Stewardship applications such as invasive species education and Phragmites australis eradication projects throughout Southold Town. The Pipes Cove Preserve Phragmites eradication project is a grant reimbursement/Town match for $30,000.00 awarded by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
