AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Ms. Linda Roth thanked the Board,the Clam Bay Committee, and the Foundation for
their work with the Clam Bay NRPA Management Plan.
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.
