Ms. Correll noted that her associate Andrea had spoken to that at the last meeting, but had some ideas to share with the GLWMO on short and long -term pond management. Chair Ferrington asked that EOR look to Member Westerberg for his input as the Plan was developed. Mr. Maloney noted the need to address constructive approaches to maximize local government spending for water quality improvements, and in light of past concerns for the process, and differing treatment recommendations, to have a positive statement on record as a basis from which to work, and recognizing that trends over the last four (4) years provided evidence that stormwater improvements were beneficial and to move forward with that as a basic foundation. Mr. Maloney opined that, whether through initial stakeholder comments or as the Plan developed, it was imperative to continue the collaboration among the water management organizations and local governments for positive leveraging.

Member Manzara moved, and Member Westerberg seconded acceptance of the modified proposal of Emmons Olivier Resources, Inc. (EOR) and the final Professional Services Agreement between the GLWMO and EOR; including the Cover Letter (Exhibit A) provided by Ms. Correll and referenced at the meeting, attached hereto and made a part hereof and signed by Mr. Olivier as a commitment by both parties to work within the confines of the proposal; and authorized the Chair to execute the document.
