HomeMy WebLinkAbout03-05-15 - CB Memo & Agenda TO: CONSERVATION BOARD MEMBERS FROM: MICHAEL SMITH, SENIOR PLANNER DATE: MARCH 2, 2015 SUBJECT: UPCOMING CONSERVATION BOARD MEETING – March 5, 2015 This is to confirm that the next meeting of the Conservation Board (CB) is Thursday, March 5th at 5:30 p.m. The agenda for this meeting is enclosed (see the back of this memo). The draft minutes from the February 5, 2015 meeting are attached. I have also included a copy of the 2015 Work Goals that was updated at the last meeting, just to make sure everyone has the final version. At this meeting we will continue to discuss the pest management policy research from other communities and see if there are any updates regarding deer management in the Town and County. We will also need to spend some time under the regular reports and updates to review the two nominations for the 2014 Fischer Award and decide on one. We did not receive any additional nominations. While it is not listed as a separate agenda item, there have been several emails in the past couple weeks regarding the water conservation issue and Town water rates. We may want to add this to the beginning of the agenda, especially if the Ithaca College student is able to attend the meeting. Carrie has volunteered to take minutes at the March meeting. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at msmith@town.ithaca.ny.us or at 273-1747 prior to the meeting. TOWN OF ITHACA 215 N.
