APPROVAL OF CLAM BAY NRPA MANAGEMENT PLAN The Chairman noted that this latest version of the Plan was unanimously voted for approval by the Clam Bay Committee, adding the various people and organizations who had given their input. He also commented on Ms. O'Brien's work as Chairman of the Committee. A brief history of the Plan and its various iterations was discussed as well as the criteria that were requested by the County Commission and the various entities that provided input. If approved at this meeting, Ms. McCaughtry will have time to provide this Plan to the County Commission for their approval which is necessary for the dredging permit. A MOTION was then made by Tom Cravens and seconded by Henry Bachman to approve the revised plan. Ms. Kathy Worley, Ms. Linda Roth, and Mary Johnson made some suggested changes. Changes were also made by a few of the Board members in an effort to make the document read as clearly and consistently as possible. The Board discussed the budget implications of the additional monitoring activities included in the Management Plan, and where those funds would come from. Mr. Bachman noted that this issue may affect the assessments from the residents if the County does not provide the additional funds. Dr. Trecker pointed out that the Executive Summary of the Plan indicated twice that all activities within the Plan will be contingent upon available funding. Tom Cravens revised his MOTION to approve the Management Plan with the changes made at this meeting. The revised motion was seconded by Henry Bachman and unanimously approved. Mr. Bachman then indicated that he would like the minutes to reflect that the fiscal 2015 Pelican Bay Services Division budget provides for $97,800 to be funded by Collier County, and an additional $37,600 for proposed monitoring activities which are not budgeted in fiscal year 2015, and that these activities cannot be implemented unless and until additional funds are made available from sources other than an assessment levy on the residents of Pelican Bay. The Board members briefly touched on the other sources of funding, and that the activities in the Plan would be prioritized and spread out over time. Mr. Bachman indicated that if that was the intent then he would have no problem with it. A brief discussion was held on freshwater discharges into the Clam Bay system, and it was noted that the Board was in the fact finding phase on this issue. 2 ADJOURNMENT On a MOTION by Tom Cravens and a second by Scott Streckenbein the meeting was adjourned at 10:10 a.m. Dave Trecker, Chairman 3
