Meeting called to order at 4 : 14 by Glen Simpson. 2 . Simpson distributed Stormwater Master Plan and associated literature to those who had requested them. 3 . A general discussion ensued concerning a Habitat Protection Strategy. The Board agreed that a composite rather than piecemeal approach was appropriate. It was agreed that an all encompassing strategy was needed that would include but not necessarily be limited to land acquisition, water management, and a regulatory framework. The Board felt that different strategies may apply to different areas of the County and proposed that the County be divided into three or four general divisions: Urban, Agricultural, Wilderness, Golden Gate Estates. 4 . The Chair and Vice Chair shall define specific boundaries of the areas and present their ideas to the Board at the next meeting. Also at this time, subcommittees will be established to determine criteria specific to each of the defined areas. 5. Another concept introduced was how to obtain funding for a land acquisition program. Bill Lorenz stated that Eric Draper of the Nature Conservancy would be happy to attend a meeting of the Board and explain to them the campaign plans and strategy for a County referendum for land acquisition. 6.
