REPORTS John Stein attended the Board of Trustees meeting held on December 16, 2015. There was a special presentation for Lori Hulse, Assistant Town Attorney and Trustee Dave Bergen recognizing them for their years of service to the Town. The remainder of the meeting was business as usual. GUEST SPEAKERS 2 John Bredemeyer, President of the Board of Trustees and Michael Domino, Vice- President of the Board of Trustees attended the meeting. John distributed copies of his Targeted/Redefined Role for CAC. They recently met with Supervisor Russell and Peter Young to discuss the administrative and management roles of the CAC. The goal is to eliminate duplication of efforts and possibly limit the CAC role to only the projects with major impacts on the environment in accordance with SEQRA determinations. Any changes to the SEQRA review process will require an amendment to the code. The CAC could also have involvement in special projects such as wetland restoration projects and water quality projects, as well as assist with conservation advice for applicants and provide environmental audits upon request. Chairman Peter Young requested the CAC members review the Targeted/Redefined Role for CAC, and prepare comments for a continued discussion at the next meeting in February. He also asked that the members review and become more familiar with Chapter 275 and the SEQRA review process. Peter Meeker distributed a working outline as part of the joint efforts to update the procedures and mission statement of the CAC. Jack McGreevy expressed his concern with potential code violations on properties that are not within the Trustees' jurisdiction. John Bredemeyer and Michael Domino both suggested that the CAC develop protocol to address these types of issues in an effort to streamline the process.

There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 7:00PM. Respectfully submitted by, Oj 711 l f•M 4 Lauren M. Standish, Secretary Conservation Advisory Council Targeted/Redefined Role for CAC: Consider a reduced advisory role in wetland permit applications, limiting CAC input to actions classified as Type I and "Unlisted Actions"under SEQRA (typically those involving revetments & bulkheads in/out of the CEHA, docks, wetland clearing w/ow/o violations, major commercial facility expansion, etc.) The CAC would not review Type H Actions typical of single family house construction on approved lots where environmental mitigation is standardized and repeatable. Another possibility would be to restrict CAC input only to those actions receiving a "Positive Declaration" under SEQRA, i.e. those applications which are classified as Type I or Unlisted Actions under SEQRA wherein one or more significant environmental impacts, that are not easily mitigated, have been identified. A check-off would be included in all future wetland applications encouraging applicants to seek conservation advice: 0 I/we request an voluntary environmental audit of best management environmental practices for this site, to be performed at a mutually agreeable time by member(s) of the Southold Town Conservation Advisory Council. Supporting Reasons: Eliminate duplication of effort and advice that at times has no nexus to the instances of an application before the Trustees. Free up CAC time to work on targeted requests from the TB & TT such as: assist with research/reports/special projects. Presently there are two outstanding grants the Trustees have with the Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program for marsh stabilization. Upcoming projects such as the removal of invasive vegetation around Great Pond and the possibility of turning the Marion Lake outlet into a fish ladder, where the CAC could assist community groups and Trustees with site surveys and DEC permitting are envisioned as possibilities for more rewarding and productive use of CAC efforts.
