employee time so where possible proposed capital budget should be used as
match for the grants. Some work plans need to be amended. Mark wants more
coordination on the grants and work being conducted. One grant can apply to

was agreed that Pete Harris would need to be involved in any further discussions
of this. Mark also mentioned the Town's Jockey/Goose/Richmond Creek
watershed grant not listed on his email. It was agreed that the priority is to get
the capital funding in place so that we can begin to spend money as this will
allow us to pin down what we are doing so that the work plans can be amended
accordingly.
