There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 6:30PM. Respectfully submitt d by, AM)-bur, 7Tll , Wtdfuh Ladren M. Standish, Secretary Conservation Advisory Council For The Record Seven months into 2018 the Conservation Advisory Council has many outstanding ideas and proposals open for consideration. For well over a year,the Town Board,the Town Trustees, and the members of the council have agreed to expand the CAC beyond waterfront building applications, which the Trustees ultimately decide on. Some innovative ideas have been raised, but no material progress has been realized. I believe a more substantial use of the CAC is long overdue. Things raised for consideration and implementation are: 1. End of Year Report for 2017 2.A Presentation to the CAC by one or more Trustees touching on indiginous wetland plants,, a final position on climate change and its impact on coastal erosion, and nitrogen &other pollutants in our surface and groundwaters. 3. Staking and Survey of North Shore 4. Milkweed planting for Monarch Butterfly Migration 5. Bee Keeping 6.Seating New Members 7. Enforcement of:set backs in building permits, new tech septic systems,and surface water runoff 8. Matrix of all conservation groups including mission statements and contact information These are just some of the projects the CAC can and should address. lam willing to dedicate a few extra hours per month to accomplish good work on these issues. I urge all stakeholders to commit to the implementation of all agreed upon work. Thank you. F Respectfully submitted by Peter Meeker a I
