Present Were: Don Wilder, Chairman Peter Young, Member Jack McGreevy, Member Doug Hardy, Member James Eckert, Member Scott Worth, Student Member Lauren Standish, Secretary Dave Bergen, Trustee Absent Was: Anne Trimble, Member CALL TO ORDER Chairman Don Wilder called the meeting to order at 4:40 PM. REPORTS Chairman Don Wilder asked for the status of the mooring inventory. Member Peter Young reported that the Bay Constable and the vessel will not be available until June and questioned whether the Council should pursue starting the inventory sooner or just wait until June. The members agreed that the mooring and boats usually aren't in the water until Memorial Day weekend, therefore starting the inventory in June would make sense. Trustee Dave Bergen suggested the pulley and stake inventory be done now since a boat isn't necessary. The inventory can also be done using binoculars, however, there won't be any GPS coordinates. Member Jack McGreevy questioned whether or not they could use a private boat with reimbursement of costs. Trustee Bergen said he would pursue the reimbursement and liability issues with the Town Attorney. There has been some confusion as to the CAC members serving on Town Committees. Chairman Wilder said he would send a memo to the Town Board recommending the appointment of James Eckert to the Stormwater Run-off Committee and Jack McGreevy to the LWRP Committee. NEW BUSINESS Chairman Don Wilder reported that no applications were received for the recently advertised CAC member vacancy. Trustee Dave Bergen reported that the Town has selected a student intern, who is a Senior in college studying environmental science, to assist the Town with mapping and other work related to stormwater run-off. The internship is connected to grant funding. Trustee Bergen stated that the Town recently received the report from the Dept. of State regarding the delegation of authority from the Town Board to the Board of Trustees. The letter stated that the Town Board did in fact have the authority to delegate authority to the Board of Trustees. A copy of the report is available to the public. Member Peter Young commented on the proposed amendments to' Chapter 275 set for public hearing on Tues., April 21 st. He presented his changes, however Trustee Bergen suggested he present them to the Town Board at the public hearing. Member Jack McGreevy distributed two draft memos to the members for their review. The first memo was concerning the need to dredge Down's Creek. The members suggested revisions be made and Chairman Wilder agreed to make the changes and forward to the Town Board. The second memo was concerning the NYS Licensing of Saltwater Fishing. The majority of the members agreed to not send the memo as written, however, Chairman Wilder offered to re-write the memo and forward to the Town Board.
