1. Welcome, Introductions, Approval of Minutes: Meeting began at 5:05 P.M. S. Hurlbut welcomed everyone. The IO was asked to approve a $113.00 web site related expense and to agree to front money for printing the final Restoration and Protection Plan (RPP) if planned contributions from the Cayuga Lake National Bank, Seneca County SWCD and the Tompkins County Department of Health are not received by the printing bill due date. No objections. It was noted that the current IO bank balance is sufficiently large to accommodate this request and still retain additional funds should any unforeseen expenses arise and that the IO will be immediately reimbursed upon receipt of the contributions should this action be necessary.

2. Cayuga Lake Watershed Strategic Long Term Planning Session #1: Susan Senecah distributed the agenda for the rest of the meeting. Following introductions of her associates, Terry Flynn, Joe Dadey and Dylan Wolfe, Senecah stated that her role as consultant will be to help the IO work through an organizational structure. The end product of her work will be a report containing her recommendations for an organizational structure that can support implementation of the RPP.

The second strategic planning session will be held on September 11 from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. Location will be announced. A smaller meeting will be held prior to the Sept. meeting. Volunteers will examine organizational structure models and discuss some of the legalities associated with an implementing organization, i.e., bylaws, and funding structure. The Draft recommendation report will be released during the third meeting, date to be announced.
