Present were: Peter Young, Chairman John Stein, Member Peter Meeker, Member Greg Williams, Member Lauren Standish, Secretary Absent: Jack McGreevy, Member Keith McCamy, Member James Dinizio, Town Board Liaison CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 4:33PM by Chairman Peter Young. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE SPECIAL POWER POINT PRESENTATION Guest speaker, Daniel Gulizio, Executive Director of the Peconic Baykeeper-Water Quality Discussion The presentation focused on water quality impairments being the symptom of a bigger set of problems and the need to improve land use decisions though government. It's the position of the Peconic Baykeeper that land use practices are unsustainable and there are fundamentally flawed sanitary standards. The decision making process within the Suffolk Co. Health Dept. has stopped working for us with a focus on special interest needs. The 2 regulatory process failure is the main problem, not money or infrastructure. Suggestions to fix the process would be to file litigation, fix the regulatory process and/or contract private management assistance for the Health Dept., which would could involve the Peconic Baykeeper. REPORTS Greg Williams attended the Board of Trustees held on October 19th and reported on various applications and findings by the Board of Trustees. NEW BUSINESS CAC Publicity— Peter Meeker suggested the CAC's monthly meetings be advertised in the town's community ad, public notices, and website. Greg Williams suggested we advertise in the recreation department's spring and fall brochure as well. Peter Meeker met with Mark Terry regarding the wetland index maps. This mapping project could be quite time-consuming so it was suggested to explore a project involving residential sanitary systems. It was also noted that the Engineering Dept. is currently working on stormwater management. The CAC discussed the definition of a non-turf buffer and agreed that it was time to re- define in the wetlands code. It was agreed by all to send a memo to the Board of Trustees accordingly.
